Habits are not manageable especially when they become your addiction, in this post I am answering the question by @ecotrain
WHAT HABITS OR ADDICTIONS, BOTH GOOD AND BAD, HAVE YOU DEVELOPED AND WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF?
I have been a person who was connected socially to everyone. In my world there was the tiniest entry of a phone. I spent all of my time sharing and obtaining knowledge through conversation. Source of knowledge was my family/ friends and newspaper. I wouldn't hesitate to say that I have developed my communication skills though the debates and discussions.
Each day in my college and university l initiated the class with the message of the day. Later class teacher and I had conversation about the theme.Point to be noted that I had no social media accounts till my graduation.
But how did I entered into this messy online disturbing life?
All the credit goes to Covid pandemic. My friends circle cracked, I was depressed in loneliness and nothing more fascinating activity was there to heal my anxious spirit.Being introduced into the blogging back in 2019. In the honest way you can stop the conversation in between but can't stop cycreatilking 😂 in the start I was on the way to spread my creativity, writing 3 posts each day and making many comments moved me into the new direction. I got busy on the phone. Making interaction with others made me happy and I became active to ensure my presence. Making followers and checking update literally I was lost,
From Uptrennd I moved to Twitter . New world, new people 😂 Literally from 24 hours I spent 18 hours on bed with my phone hahaha gaining extra weight was written into my fate. Honestly the first person who hated and targeted me for this was my mom. She wanted to stride me out of this but there was no other activity which could replace this. Now coming to the stuff which we call scrolling was done all night by me. Dark circles chased me*. 😂 I became cyber stalker all the time 🤣
If this is a good habit, yes it was. I achieved the best experience and acknowledgement through my work. I made trust worthy friends without the discrimination of religion and nationality. There was no boredom for me. The days I had no internet became hell for me. The girl who shared knowledge with people in live sessions through debates was now on the open forum as writer 🙂
What I left behind ;
Reading newspaper and making discussions with Papa regarding politics
The personal talks with friends where our society, life and everything else happening in world was examined
Life stories, gossips with my mom where I remained leaner and she instructed me like tutor.
Professional discussion worthy brother's, movie time and fun now this part is little bit missing.
Some opinions of others ;
Shireen, you have changed, regarding technology.
Your opinions are not biased, they have validity as you behave naturally.
You don't discuss things openly rather you prefer to write them down on paper.
Your voice notes are getting mature 😂 seems like you changed your voices aptly.
Your guidance regarding professional life got enhanced because of scrolling on each site.
Why I wanted to get rid of this addiction!
I wanted to get free of this habit because it's causing a hurdle for me to connect with my friends and family who have physical presence. I knew this work is more fun related but now when I am back to my previous life still I can't enjoy the delights with freedom 😔 Extracting data from my phone usage WhatsApp, Instagram and Hive (last one is not waste of time but I read the whole blog about can't comment because of my laziness ) is more than writing articles. This means I am not spending time for the goodness. You can conclude that I am distracted .
I knew someone would say your self effort should assist you to get rid of this but I feel incomplete without these Nah 🥴 Last time when I attempted to finish this mission I got heart attack😂 of missing this life lol. But honestly instead of making the glass empty in the first attempt I am doing this in multiple attempts. Somehow I am getting success.
Note ;
My thoughts are so random for this blog, as I have completed this in 8 attempts within 3 days. Busy in my life and finalising others task by family and friends 🙂 Success to get rid of this bad habit is on the way bro🥴
