If you do these 7 things, maybe you are a victim of social media ...
It goes without saying that social media influence our daily life 100%. We are all, some more and some less, influenced by our social image: whether it is on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter & Co. In this world of likes, virtuality has had a good slice of the upper hand, and this determines, sometimes in a way disconcerting, real life. The question is legitimate: is it you who manage your virtual life, or is it your virtual life that now manages the real one? Here are 7 signs that determine your degree of addiction, let's find out if you are a social addicted.
One of the unhealthy forms of social media tells us this video, watch:
1. Addiction to sharing
Is there not a moment of your day that you don't feel like sharing with everyone? Just can't help but take a picture and keep it to yourself? Even if you lose the metro do you need to communicate it to the world?
Well, this is a bad symptom. Sharing every detail of the day, from breakups with your partner to breaking nails, completely eliminates the concept of privacy and the (right) idea that having an intimate and personal space of solitude is better.

2. An unhealthy competition
When photos of his ex, the influencer of the moment, your neighbor, lead you to think that you too "would be cooler if ...", your virtual competition affects 100% real life. Is it possible that some retouched photos can affect your choices so much? That dinners, holidays, shoes, friends of someone you don't know in real life influence your decisions? If you persist in this competition, you not only foment your innate insecurity, but allow social networks to manipulate your choices as well as your tastes.
3. You don't notice the good times
He took you to eat in a seaside restaurant, it's summer, hot air, sea breeze, spaghetti with clams and ... you with your mobile phone in your hand making stories of every course, of every shooting star, and of course you force it to take pictures of you barefoot in the water. In short: if you lose your real life, to tell a fake one, you are definitely a slave to social media! Also, apparently, the less you post about yourself, the more the relationship works ... read here to believe.

4. Dependence on followers and likes
The more followers, friends, likes, comments increase, the more you feel special. You can't stop trying to increase them. It makes you feel stronger, cooler and more independent. This is the virtual you, loved by all her virtual friends, who flirts with her boyfriend through likes. But what about the real one? Is she really that strong, cool and most of all independent?
5. The need to be updated
You can't tolerate NOT knowing what's going on around you. But not because you obsessively watch the news, not because you run a hospital. Because your world is the world of social media. Where your close circle of friends shares every move. Where so you have control over everyone and everyone over you. Does this story sound strange to you? If you have a social addiction, no.

6. The obsession with controlling him
You even downloaded an app to secretly read his whatsapp conversations. You know by heart the number of his followers on Instagram, and you know perfectly well who, when and how he likes him. In short: you cannot avoid controlling all his virtual life, since on the real one, fortunately, he has the right to privacy. Wouldn't a moment of solitude in the relationship be better? But you can't stop knowing everything, everything he does on his social networks ...
7. The loss of authenticity
Does life become a representation for you? Are you at home with the flu but do you post the photo of the week before to the sea, and pretend to be there again? Staging a non-existent life, editing every photo, removing flab, cellulite, wrinkles and pimples? You can't avoid creating a you different from what you are. The loss of authenticity, just to have followers and likes, to confirm that you are worth something too. This sad remedy, which flattens the mind and humiliates the human being, is the irrefutable sign that you are a victim of social media. What to do? Turn everything off: at least for 12 hours. Challenge yourself not to open your pages for a little, forced to turn off your cell phone while you are with him, look for spaces where you exist alone and remind yourself what it means to BE TRUE, without getting distracted from yourself: maybe you realize that it's worth it.
