This is just the way it was growing up in the 80s/90s. It was glorious. Social Media is cancer.

It's been three years since I deleted all my social media except YouTube. I thought YouTube was different, but the fact that I have such a strong urge to check it all the time is frustrating. It made me realize that I simply replaced the time I used to spend on social media with YouTube, and that's no better. I believe the real solution is to spend no time looking at screens, especially watching videos.

I hope you find a cure. I'm really sad that someone as good and hardworking as you has such bad luck.
