The internet is a treasure trove of useful tools and information to elevate your daily life. However, it’s also a breeding ground for unnecessary drama, self-doubt, and downright absurdity. Here are some telltale signs that it’s time to hit the brakes, log off, and step away:
- You’ve spent the last hour scrolling through unfiltered celebrity photos and were just about to search for “Jessica Parker’s age spots.” Seriously, it’s time to log off.
- Your comment on a social media post has spiraled into a lengthy manifesto that’s become impossible to even find the original post again. Just walk away.
- Your online shopping cart is stuffed with 20 random beauty products just to snag free shipping. It’s time to close the tab and step back.
- Your browser is cluttered with so many open tabs that clicking to close them feels like a game of whack-a-mole. Enough is enough; log off.
- You’re timing your bathroom breaks to align perfectly with Netflix’s 9-second autoplay between shows. Come on, it’s time to step away.
- You accidentally liked a photo from your colleague’s 2009 vacation, and now you know they’ll realize you’ve been creeping. You need to log off now.
- You’ve consumed so many nostalgic Buzzfeed articles that you’re seriously considering a shopping spree for every childhood toy you can find on eBay. Just walk away.
- You’re genuinely unsure whether you crafted a DIY bunk bed from toilet paper rolls or simply pinned it on Pinterest. Definitely time to log off.
- You keep visiting the Facebook profile of someone whose posts irk you to no end. Why do you do this? Just log off.
- You’re actually tearing up over a car ad that brings back memories of childhood pets and the inevitable passage of time. Seriously, step away from the screen.
I get it; it’s easy to get sucked into endless scrolling and mindless clicks, but as someone who’s lived through it, trust me—you’ll thank yourself later.
