Some few years ago I used to frequent spending time with social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on to the point that I am usually with my phone all day interacting with friends and even stangers.
But on recent, I am beginning to loose interest, well except for some paying sites like this one and others which I spend most of my free time with.
Have anyone experience such? Do you think social media can be addictive?

I was addicted. When my relationship with others offline started to deteriorate, I had to force myself to ignore it.
Thankfully I got interested inside husltes and business at the same time, so that helped shift my focus.
But for a while I had to delete my Facebook app. Now I only deal with FB and WhatsApp

i think social media can be addictive, but it's good when you notice it and change your habits.
i don't think i'm addicted because i'm not using any of that except whatsapp and snapchat right now,

It's nice you are able to control your activities on social media. Some may not have good stories to tell you know

Anything technically can be addictive if it sets off the reward mechanism in your brain... the positive feedback system is a powerful thing.

Its addictive if you don't have what to do, I was once like that; but nowadays I'm left with little time for it

I think I started to realize that I've been addicted to social media like Instagram when I start to stop using them for a week. So yes, Social media can be addictive

I am not addicted to social media. I have a facebook profile, but I don't use it much. My profile is boring, I don't write anything and last time I posted a picture was in 2012
