      I have to disagree friend, I believe what he's saying is true - people do have addictions to these platforms - it's changed the social construct of society.

    As a 22 year old male, I prefer to talk face to face. It has more meaning when encountering somebody rather than messaging them through the internet. To me, social media is a wast of time and distracts us from the aspects of life. Whenever I hang out with a friend, he’s on their phone and it’s complete silence. That’s the problem with social media nowadays. It’s taking control over everybody like a hypnotist. It’s destroys us. It separates us from reality.

    Exactly why I’ve deleted every social media account except UA-cam. I have no desire to be on a page where people can comment on my lifestyle, my relationships, my every day life... it’s a good thing to be private and to actually make phone calls or send letters to people I haven’t spoken to in awhile. I feel much better and I’m definitely free from social media.

      If you liked playing games, you should try setting a scheduled of playing to keep yourself in line, just how if you go to the movies, you pick a time best for you for that certain movie, and you watch that movie for a certain amount of time usually not seeing another movie for a little bit, but if you are going to go to college or planning on college you most likely won't have time for video games.
      TL:DR don't give up on hobbies you like, that's how people get depressed with life because they are always consumed with work and only focused on it and never fit in time so they can just enjoy themselves.

Because once you are in that working process, people are judging you about what you give them and not what they can give you and they get totally useless to your true needs
