9. You Do It To Forget Your Troubles

Many people use social media as a way to escape from their real world problems. At least using social media isn’t as bad as turning to drugs or alcohol to drown your sorrows, but it can still cause problems. Lots of people want to escape from their everyday troubles, and to a certain extent those feelings can be quite normal. If you spend lots of time checking out what other people are doing just so you can forget your own problems, you might have one more problem that you didn’t even realize. Perhaps a better alternative would be sharing some of your problems with your followers to get advice or sympathy instead of sticking your head in the virtual sand.
