Am I a Facebook Addict?
I think I’m beginning to be a Facebook addict. That is, if I will look at the symptoms this American psychologist identified.
Here are the symptoms, according to Joanna Lipari, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. (Source: CNN)
1. You lose sleep over Facebook
Technically, I don’t sleep over Facebook, but I leave my netbook until it drains its battery when I go to sleep. I do chatting over Facebook instead of Yahoo Messenger or AOL IM.
2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook
What can you expect if you constantly have Internet connection? If your job requires you to communicate over the Internet, and since the opportunity is there, then I login to Facebook.
3. You become obsessed with old loves
Until now, I’ve been trying to remember the names of my elementary school classmates.
4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook
Well, sometimes.
5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in a cold sweat
Maybe I should try not to login to Facebook at least for a day.
