100%. I actually have deleted TikTok and IG off my phone because I find myself mindlessly scrolling so often
I refuse to get Tik Tok because it’ll be a 3rd platform for me to scroll. I already do on FB and Instagram where I’m trying to control that.
I feel the same, it’s dopamine overdrive and do think it fried my brain due to overstimulation and then I mindlessly crave it more when life is (rightfully) not as fast paced.
Yes. Challenge is I also learn a lot from videos on IG. So if I delete it, not sure how I’d learn new recipes, DIY, etc.
Yes!! It’s such a problem. I’ll be good for a week or two and then I’ll have a week where I’m losing hours of my life scrolling. And then I can’t get any work done bc it’s so hard to motivate myself. Taking meds helps but even with meds sometime I struggle

Yes I’ve been feeling this for a while. So much so that I wonder if the “classified” reasons for banning tik tok is it is affecting national productivity. Clearly all of these apps are - but tik tok is an easy target.
The dopamine hits cause both addiction while scrolling and loss of reinforcement from work and life responsibilities.

Yes. This has been absolutely one of the main reasons for my ADHD diagnosis. Mindless scrolling into late night. I still can’t shake it off. Vyvanse keeps me awake late into the night even though I take it early in the day so I am on my phone until I fall asleep. Instant gratification and dopamine trigger from short form videos is definitely contributing to this trend. I recently saw a post on IG (lol) where Chamath Palihaptiya mentions that his child was underperforming at school and showing signs of ADHD. He took away his kids IPad and cellphone and banned him from social media apps. Within a month the kids grades were up. He was more focused and engaged in activities.
I'm not going to tell you because it is honestly so bad that I am embarrassed. My siblings and I were talking about it one day so we all looked them up and mine was like triple of everyone elses.
