An internet problem
Posted: February 11th, 2017, 11:25 pm
I've noticed I have a definite problem which I believe is exacerbated, if not caused by the internet itself. I overthink things...it's a problem of uninhibited thinking, which internet allows and flourishes. It's easy to understand. I start thinking about things...then I search the net, it feeds my mind for the next hours.
then I think some more, pretty soon - my whole day's turned into this monster of thinking. There's nothing wrong with thinking deeply, it is actually quite healthy, the problem comes in the "uninhibitedness" of it. It takes up all my time. Like anything, it's lacking self control and I can see it's a big problem. I think I should just not do that. Like any addiction, I have to just stop checking.
If I think something, then I can think on it by myself - it's the checking of internet which feeds my thoughts and cause this out of control-ness in me.
It also has other problems, like excessive or any internet porn use.
This is just bad. I had this (thinking) problem for my whole life, but refused somehow to admit it was an internet problem...or my problem. I couldn't give up internet from my life. Now I realize, I have to. It's a serious destabilizing issue for a lot of people I might think. Net pulls your life in, sucks your life away. I need to get "off" the net.
