Social Networking Addiction

Social networking addiction is a phrase sometimes used to refer to someone spending too much time using Facebook , Twitter, Instagram and other forms of social media so much so that it interferes with other aspects of daily life.

Addiction usually refers to compulsive behavior that leads to negative effects. In most addictions, people feel compelled to do certain activities so often that they become a harmful habit, which then interferes with other important activities such as work or school.

Some people consider excessive use of social networks simply the latest form of "Internet Addiction Disorder," a phenomenon people first began writing about in the 1990s when Internet use was starting to spread. Even back then, people theorized that heavy use of the Internet might impair people's performance at work, in school, and in family relationships.

a social networking addict could be considered someone with a compulsion to use social media to excess— constantly checking Facebook status updates or "stalking" people's profiles on Facebook, for example, for hours on end.

Still, some researchers have concluded that social networking can make people feel better about themselves and more connected to society
