You can be addicted to nearly anything, including social media. As we've covered on Bored Panda before, you can say that you're dealing with internet or social media addiction if it's taken over your life. If you feel that you've lost the power to stop going online and that you have a constant, massive urge to be, say, on Instagram, you may need to either take a step back or seek a therapist's help.
Social media addicts can have a high level of self-awareness. For instance, they might know that the ungodly amount of time they spend scrolling through Instagram and comparing their lives to those of influencers is having a profoundly negative impact on their physical and psychological well-being. And yet, they still don't change their behavior.
Spending prolonged amounts of time on social media can cause anxiety and depression. Meanwhile, some users can develop further, even unhealthier, addictions.
What did you think about the differences between influencers' clips and what the popular tourist destinations look like in real life, dear Pandas? Were you as surprised as we were? Have you actually been to these spots? Where do you plan to go on holiday next? Tell us all about it (and more) in the comments!
