"I'm going to enjoy a little flutter on the forums today and then start easing off, with a view to taking a break for a while. I do this from time to time because I'm aware of the fact that, as with other social websites, it just feeds me little dopamine hits and I can get a bit addicted to that. Anyone else recognise this aspect to online socialising? If you don't think you're addicted have you tried taking a day or two off? What's your approach to kicking the habit? And do you do this with your other social websites and apps? " everything you enjoy gives you dopamine. I get bored of things often fab will follow suit eventually or will br replaced by another app I enjoy more | |||

But it's a bit like watching tv; mildly entertaining and diverting, a bit superficially rewarding, and can draw you away from real life. I think it's quite a particular addiction that needs controlling otherwise it can run away with you. Other things I enjoy on a deeper level aren't necessarily as potentially negative as getting sucked into online socialising. I think online has a definite place for helping people get through trauma or bad times... and I've used this place to help me get through some bad times in the past. But there's also a benefit in pulling away from it from time to time and making sure you're in control of it and not it in control of you | |||

" I have just watched Panorama, BBC1 @ 7pm, all about smartphones and how social media apps manipulate them so as to entice people to keep clicking on that like button, or keep posting stories to see how many people respond to them... as you say its down to the dopamine hits but that's what people at FB and other sites are counting on so that you or whoever will spend as much time as you can on their app and getting so sucked into it that you become addicted, which is why they invented the endless scroll function, so people can continuously search for anything and everything. Very interesting stuff but I would argue that it only applies to people who have an addictive personality in the first place. For me FB is just a convenient way of keeping in contact with family and friends from around the world, although I will be deleting my account in a couple of weeks anyway, same as with when I get fed up of fab I will either hide or delete | |||

"Yes I do OP. I'm away soon and it will be a perfect chance to just take a break from it. I think what with the excitement of finding new people to fuck and talk with it's easy to spend a bit too much time on here. It allows you to reassess things. (I'm waiting for Scarlet's comment on this thread!)" *puts on Scarlet voice* I only come on the forum as a quick distraction whilst cooking the dinner or waiting for Clem to finish in the toilet, and I don’t get a dopamine hit from the forum as it’s all a load of bollocks and people would say the same about me anyway. I use the main site to find the people I want to fuck and then I fuck them in the real world, so what’s the issue? | |||
