Of course, there is nothing wrong with the fact that you post a message about the anniversary of your wedding, for example. But if you are trying to inform others about each new date, it may already look like a dependency. Yes, your hamster learned new charming tricks, but do you really need to post new videos every day? Read about some obvious signs that you are on the verge of becoming an addicted person.
You do not think twice before posting a new post
If you tell your friends on Facebook every random thought, share all the photos that you took with your smartphone, or systematically exchange links that you do not even read, it means it's time to get at least minimal editing skills, at least for the sake of preserving your own personal life. People often forget that the post published today will remain on the Internet for many years. Social media are unpredictable, and even more so they can not be called private, so treat very carefully what you publish. There is always a chance that your current post will play a cruel joke on you in the future.
You post new posts more than four times a day
If you were wondering, and if you do not post too much, it probably is. Julie Spira, cyber expert and author of the rules of network etiquette, says that you probably do not call someone and do not send messages 5-6 times a day. So, more than 4 posts in social networks in one day are a clear sign of dependence. Think about the habits of people who go to their page in the morning and evening. If they see 12 of your messages before they get to someone else, there is a chance that you will be on the blacklist. Try to take a break for one day and get rid of the habit of every minute to post everything that gets to your arm.
You send minute messages about your own journey
Vacation is not only a luxury, but often also a privilege for which some people work for many months, and sometimes several years. That's why when you publish minute posts about your beautiful and expensive journey, it can irritate many of your friends on social networks. Of course, friends are not at all against seeing the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, but if you publish an album and continue to add photos to it all day, many people will be too annoyed. It's very important to try not to be that person on Facebook, which irritates everyone who can not afford a vacation.
You removed the concept of "sociality" from social networks
At its core, social media platforms have not been designed to be aimed at one person. First of all, this is a joint space that should help you connect with other people. So if you post only about yourself and never about other people or never comment on messages and photos of others, it can also talk about addiction. For every four publications, three should not be about you.
You post photos of your things
Except for an engagement ring (and only as long as you do not make daily updates of such photos), boasting about luxury goods is perceived as unnecessary information. This can not only make you a target for thieves, but it will also seem selfish on your part, and many people will not understand your intentions. Constant posts with the image of material objects will look like bragging. Of course, many people are interested to see what you have, but not too often. If you share only something special, such posts are not perceived by your friends with dislike.
You do not filter photos of your children
Yes, your child is absolutely charming. And of course, you can store a lot of his photos in your smartphone or computer. But do you really think that the best friend of your ex-husband from high school should see a photo of a baby in the bathroom with a beard of foam, like Santa Claus? Probably not. A huge number of publications of your child's photographs will irritate those who do not have children, who can not have them, or do not plan to start them. But worse, it creates a danger for your child. Sotsset - this is not a place to publish photos of children. If you want to share some special photo, make sure that only a limited number of people can see it.
People who used to leave your messages, disappeared
We all have at least one friend or relative who likes everything we do, both online and offline. And, probably, in social networks, you have a couple of people who always put under the likes of all your publications. But why do these people sometimes start to disappear? This means that you publish too many posts. Are you notified that you have been removed from your friends? Have you seen the new posts of people who are your friends for a long time? They no longer comment on and do not respond to your publications? They probably hid your messages. For them, this is a good way to try not to hurt your feelings, obviously removing you from your friends, and at the same time not seeing in your news feed a huge number of your posts.
You can post intimate details about your sex life
Although sex is no longer a taboo, especially in mass culture and media ethics, there is always time and place for "dirty" conversations, but you should never post posts on this topic in any social media. What you do behind closed doors with your loved one should stay there. The free exchange of this information in social networks without considering the opinion of another person is a big mistake, as this jeopardizes your relationship.
