Phone addiction - Need help
Hi makkale/fellas,
This sub has helped me a lot before, so once again requesting for advice.
I'm a 25M single, working a small IT company and I'm a strong introvert. After work from home started, I became addicted to mobile phone especially instagram, and some chatting applications. Help me out for the below things.
Chat Longing: These days I don't get msgs from people, even though I constantly chat with them in the past. And now I became longing for it and keeps opening the app to check the messages. More like being desperate for chat.
Infinite scroll: Even though in Instagram, none messages me, I get addicted to memes, reels, food pictures, desserts, etc. No matter what I do, I can't escape this! Uninstalled insta app multiple times but no use.Time limiting apps are also of no use, since I go remove them after some time.
Hating phone calls: As an introvert, I hate phone calls, even if my friend called me, I'll ping him what's the matter in WhatsApp. How can I change this?
I know this isn't a serious problem, kindly don't criticise with your comments. This is ruining my mental thoughts and it's kinda scary to know I won't survive without mobile. Suicidal thoughts comes in.
I was checking something on dopamine detox, but couldn't follow it due to my strong addictions. Due to these addictions, I couldn't do anything such as upskilling, learning, certifications, etc
My friends are either going abroads or piling up with certifications and building their career successfully.
