That’s what we call it still right, I’m not old, right? Anyway I’m horribly addicted to ragebait on reddit and despite being permabanned sitewide (can’t even make new accounts) I still keep going back to it. It’s obviously depressing and angering. It’s not fun!
Find another activity to replace it and limit your time.
Try to think, “this time, I’m going to go play with that game on my phone” or whatever that activity is.
When I feel like I’m sick of browsing social media I’ve done things like get up and tidy up, open the day planner, do a chore, play a video game, read, and hell I bought some word search books on ebay to have around to pull out and do. There’s tons of other things to do that’s better than this shit, you just have to remember that it’s there and force yourself to go do it.
