Carl Gustav Jung once said: "Every form of addiction is bad, whether it's drugs, alcohol, morphine or idealism." Today, I'd probably add Facebook to the list. Most of us will deny that we are addicted to it, but since addiction is full of paradoxes, denial is an integral part of this disease. Cravings can therefore be just as harmful and addictive as nicotine or sweets.
With the increasing penetration of the Internet, it is also increasing addiction to social networks. And the most dangerous "drug" of this kind is Facebook, which we can easily become addicted to, because it hides many traps, which lead to addiction. That's why there are many people "on it". Yes, the pathology of young people has turned in a completely new direction, which is not a direct threat to health, but has all the attachments that lead to self-destruction.
Every addiction is hard to get rid of, so everyone is help welcome. Because it's about modern disease, there are also modern medicines, even in the form of an infographic that we have provided for you. And if you're convinced at this point (who isn't!?) that you're not Facebook addict, we suggest that you still set up a mirror - the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (by Norwegian researchers), which will help you through six short questions revealed who is really on the other side. Answer with 'very rarely', 'rarely', 'sometimes', 'often' and 'very often':
- You think a lot about Facebook or how will you use it?
- Feeling the urge to use Facebook more and more?
- Do you use Facebook to forget about personal problems?
- You've been trying to reduce your Facebook presence, but to no avail.
- Do you get restless when you can't use Facebook?
- Does the presence and use of Facebook negatively affect your job or school responsibilities?
