Addicted to Cell phone and internet. Can't concentrate.


Question Posted Wednesday October 10 2012, 4:49 am

Hii, So from past few months I've been so addicted to my cell phone that I just can't keep it away from me. I'm constantly on it using facebook, twitter and checking random things on google. I have my exams like in 20days but I can't concentrate. In back of my mind I know that I shouldn't be doing this but I can't stop myself. I get really uncomfortable if I stay away from it like 10 mins. I spent min 15 hrs on internet either on my phone or laptop. I feel like it has also started to affect my mental abilities. I'm really scared. what to do??? :(

Got to agree. Classic addiction behaviour. It's screaming out of this question. Not entirely your fault, social networking sites are designed to get you on the hook. Google relies on it, the more it's used the better it gets as a search engine. With exams so close you need to take drastic action, now! You've got to give that phone to your parents and they're not to give it back until those exams are done. I'm not advocating you being treated like a kid here. It's a case of having the decision to use it or not use it taken out of YOUR hands entirely. You might even find the experience pleasantly 'liberating'. If you do...congratulations...you're a pucker grown-up! Now get studying!

I know i don't have the right to say this but dude , you need to change from this moment on . What i've been reading is no laughing or small matter ! It's time for you to break yourself from these social networks or gadgets and nothing is ever impossible . What i did last time was , i locked those things , turned them off and gave all of them to my mother because it was really hard with the mind keep on thinking about what was happening . Remind yourself that you need to concentrate really good in your studies because that's what important nowadays . Not the friend requests , postings , updates or videos . Also , make a change , like i said and doing that requires real sacrifice and consistency , and be able to control your activities . In this life , you're still young , alive so you must have a purpose and dreams and you got to live them , and trust yourself that you can do this . Sacrifice all those things for your own good mate ! Remember , success requires 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration , meaning that life has its obstacles and you are the one who needs to kill them ! Love yourself first and life is too short to be spent on pointless matters . Sorry , no offence but it's the truth :))
