Doomscrolling addiction and an attempt to broaden my horizon…!

What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?

21/07/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

I know we are very much addicted to social media and even I am a part of the people who are addicted to it…!

My most used app is Instagram on which I find myself constantly just scrolling a dn giving myself the dopamine boost that comes from each reel…!


I know it’s not healthy and eats my already limited time,

But,

When I don’t my day feels incomplete and I often find myself scrolling even before I go to sleep…!


The second most used app is YouTube;

Because I listen to music a whole lot and watch content that helps me broaden my horizon which means a lot of time is also spent on YouTube…!


Instagram eats approximately an hour forty minutes per day which caps out at least five hours a week;

Which is followed by YouTube which has around an hour and 20 minutes a day which ends up under five hour a week…!


Very much addicted but it helps me explore more and think more…!

Imagine coming across a reel that helps me explore a mindset or letting you know that is happening in the protests at jantar mantar in Delhi,

From the comfort of your own home…

But,

It eats away at your conscience and makes you coming back for more…!


Two sides of a coin isn’t it…?


Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

    So relatable… it informs us, inspires us, and somehow keeps us coming back for more. 😄
