Too much Tik Tok

I think I spend too much time on Tik Tok and follow too many accounts.

I got a bit panicky when I couldn't find an account I follow, which may have been closed..

Now worrying about the person who ran the account...

I need to attempt a detox.

I'm 54 and used to laugh when I read about people getting stressed over phones, with my £5 Nokia!

I delete my app every now and again, it's good to have a break.

It’s really addictive by design. Do you look at how much time you spend on it daily? I’ve put a 10 minute blocker on and try not to go beyond that a day.

I don't use tiktok but I find myself on the FB and YouTube short videos far too often, which I can scroll for ages (essentially the same I think) but it's so time consuming and mind numbing. I sort of 'come too' quickly now and remind myself I'm wasting my time and get off then asap to find something more educational or substantial to watch on YouTube.... i swear the quick videos and different assortment from funny to sad does some sort of weird hypnotic thing to brains.
