Facebook Addiction Disorder



Facebook Nowadays is one of the most important social networks that are flattering  all around the world, connecting friends, families lovers, workers and everyone in a small internet page on a small device.


Facebook Addiction Symptoms
  • You wake up in the morning, and first thing you do is log onto your Facebook account.
  • You spend more than an hour on Facebook - at a stretch or in short episodes over regular intervals.
  • You and your siblings converse through Facebook wall and messages, even though you stay in same house.
  • You can't seem to stop thinking about Facebook updates and comments when you are offline.
  • You check Facebook for updates and comments after every hour at your workstation or on your cell phone.
  • You look forward to get home in the evening so that you can see what is happening on Facebook 
  • Your Facebook wall is full of status updates, comments, and applications that you just used.
  • You can't go for a day without using Facebook, and even this thought makes you go into sort of depression.
  • You give priority to Facebook over your commitments in professional and personal life.
  • And lastly, your day ends with you checking Facebook for that one last time and bidding people 'good nite' through your Facebook status update. (You may even get an urge to wake up at middle of the night to see whether anyone has commented on your 'gud nite' status.)                                                              
 How to deal with facebook addiction: 

- Admit you have a problem. Ask yourself “What did I just accomplish by checking Facebook?” 
- Define your goals on Facebook.
Make a Facebook Schedule.
Think of other things you could be doing. 
- Leave Facebook. 
- Find a substitute.

It's not necessary to stop it at all, just manage your time!

  1. Face book the disease for our generation!!
    Sometimes I used to see that I am addicted to facebook but as I read the upper symptoms i guess that i am not that much obsessed with it even though i enjoy spending time on it.
    But it would be really essential to take a look at them for some cannot really live with out fb.

  2. Yes i'm with you hiba withe first statement that it is the disease of this generation, because nowadays we're spending most of our time on it, and here is the problem, it may affect our vision negatively, reduces social interaction, and we can say it kills wider and high levels of thinking. So it's better to discover this weakness point, and improve it, to the benefit of the human.
