    I don't think I'm addicted. I only watch YouTube but not very often and I don't even have an account there. Does NUF count as social media? When I think of social media I think Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc. :hmm:

    Not really. Or does Imgur count? Too much interesting/cute/funny stuff there, I can watch for hours. But I generally go back to reading after one only.
    Any obsession I might have will always be second to my reading addiction, so they stay unnoticed. Ah, apart sweets and chocolate. Chocolate is my baby~

    Seems other ppl treat nuf as social media
    me: *realizes I've become a nuf frequent..... I guess that counts.
    (I've always thought of twitter, ig, weibo, etc as social media.)

    Addicted to Twitter since 2017. As a kpop fan it is a must to stay active in Twitter.

    Are forums even considered a form of social media?

    If the internet says so, then it must be true.

    I can say bye bye to my phone forever if I could live in a library. Serious, I held my phone for almost two years where I will only lay it down when I'm sleeping or taking a bath, cause I can't miss a word for a second when I'm reading. This is why my eye sight gets worst and worst.

    My contacts only have my dad and the emergency hotlines. I barely brows my Facebook.

    So, no! Not addicted to social media. I'm actually considering peaking some social media apps since I've been silence for two years. Hehehe.

    Then I might have to change my mind about being addicted. :blob_blush:

    I am not addicted, the only reason i even use social media is because of work related things
    I dont care what other people do, and i dont care whether someone know what i do
    in 2020 alone, i only post 3 facebook post, and that is because i want to claim special reward for an online game
    as for forums, i only open it when i really doesnt have anything to do


    remember kids, addiction is bad, no matter what kind of addiction it is

    Very much addicted to social media, especially for calling out or documenting SJWs who are for race-bending, gender-bending, and similar.

    I don't have Twitter, Instagram, didn't have Tumblr when it was a thing, no Spotify, no Snapchat, no TikTok. I got Facebook back when it was required of me in uni and I keep it because one colleague from work contacts me there to navigate our schedules. Well, I only register for stuff if it's required in my life. Like my youtube account or email account... I would've been happy to get rid of my phone as well, but that's wishful thinking.

    If I'm addicted to something, it's the Internet as a whole. Couldn't care less about social media. Well, except NU if it counts? But the need to be on here comes and goes in spurts of boredom.

    I didn't come here as often as I used to and only come here to procrastinate, I don't even have any Twitter or Instagram account and I forgot my Facebook password years ago.
    So I guess no.

    I already too busy getting addicted to online games and v-tuber to care about social media.

    Definitely yes, I tend to be very active on instagram and twitter. Now I'm more on discord, which, in my opinion can be considerate a social media if you are active in public servers.

    Not really, but I never used social media ever, so I might become addicted if I used it.
