I know we are living in a digital age, we have arrived at the digital world. But, this serve to remind us how things used to be different, our formal priorities, our formal relationships, mean so much more than the swallow meaningful digital world could bring us.
Sign # 1 You care more about the appearance and tidiness of your blog than your house
You spend more time and resources tidying and sorting on your blog and you actually could tolerate the house to be messy or untidy. You would let the recycle materials pile up in your garage where all passer-by could see. But, you would meticulously tidy and sort out the blog main page and items display in the layout design. You will spend time to download fantastic Java Script to have fanciful icons on your main page to make it look attractive and professional, even though your blog is simply personal and not for marketing or have any commercial value !
Sign # 2 You spend more time on facebook, twitter, whatsapp and social media than any other hobby
Everything that is good must be reposted, twitted, mentioned in your facebook wall or twitter page. Sharing is caring. In fact, you probably spend more time in social media updating than all your other hobbies combined !
Sign # 3 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is knocking at your door and you deny it
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). It's also possible to have only obsessions or only compulsions and still have OCD.
With OCD, you may or may not realize that your obsessions aren't reasonable, and you may try to ignore them or stop them. But that only increases your distress and anxiety. Ultimately, you feel driven to perform compulsive acts in an effort to ease your stressful feelings.
OCD often centers around themes, so in this case, it is the fear of not having your social media updated or that the world is left behind of your latest endevour. So to ease your fears, you may compulsively check and recheck your social media (Blog, Twitter, Facebook, Watsapp) page a hundred times until it affected your performance in other works and chores.
Despite efforts to ignore or get rid of bothersome thoughts, the thoughts or urges keep coming back. This leads to more ritualistic behavior — and a vicious cycle that's characteristic of OCD.
Sign # 4 You would hold up shower and toilet break, just to write a blog post or facebook status updateThis is true of today's netizens, social bloggers and alike, we have more important things to do than to visit the toilet. Everyone is trying to leave a mark in the digital world which we live under the illusion that it will outlive us and its permanent and forever. But we have seen many blogs shut down or top Apps just closed down overnight. Most times, they will give you an option to migrate over to another platform before the shut down. But so much has been blogged about in internet, I do not think its even possible to copy them down for our own records or reading.
Sign # 5 You take Selfie at weird moments (regardless you post or not)
Selfie kings and queens and we take them because we like them, whether we post or not, that is our business. From selfie, we have divert to Eye-fie (taking the eyes part only), Wefie (just us), and many more.
