I think I am addicted, yes, and the sanity test evidently seemed to think so (that was where I got the "red flags" from the test so to speak). If I don't make plans in advance it seems like I always end up on my computer, checking Facebook and other social media every 15th minutes. I use Netflix a lot and I am a "binge watcher", I can watch huge chunks of a series in a day and finish a season in a couple of days or even less. I sometimes think of going home to be on my computer when I am out doing whatever. The computer is always there, like a very attracting, distracting machine I can carry around. I think it's why I work better (school work) when I am in a café and don't have access to a computer (although then I get a bit obsessed with my phone at times). I get addicted to a show one week, a game the next, and it goes on and on. It has now come to the point where it distracts me from everyday duties (such as cleaning and doing laundry) aswell as schoolwork or other more serious things. I really don't know how to beat it, to be honest.
