Why is Instagram so addictive
3 situations that resonate in your mind! Maybe this is a sign that you are addicted to Instagram. Why do we develop an addiction to social media and particularly to Instagram? How to act to spend less time there? Samuel Comblez, Director of Operations of the Association e-Enfance and psychologist answers us.
Why do we become addicted to Instagram?
The power of Instagram is image. By working on the social network, you can transform it as you wish: embellish it, make it ugly, retouch it without any limit. Funny, disturbing or rewarding, a photo inevitably makes people react.The image only appeals to our emotions and sensations which creates a greater impact and dependence than on networks that use text. When you scroll through the photos one after the other, it is as easy as it is exciting and you want more and more.
People tend to seek to convey a positive image of themselves to reassure themselves in the eyes of others. As such, the application can be a great tool to enhance oneself and gain confidence. Who wouldn't want it? Certainly not the app's 800 million monthly users!
How to spend less time on Instagram?
Instagram is a “dream machine” that provides an illusion of happiness. But how do you keep your head on your shoulders and continue to achieve your goals while spending less time on your phone?Be aware of the time spent on the network: Instagram now offers an interesting feature that allows you to view the time spent posting and scrolling through the feed and stories. It is also possible to set up a reminder to control your daily time.
Stop notifications: it is possible and even recommended to deactivate push notifications in the "Your activity" area of the application
Organize times when you are off the phone so that you can be more focused on your activities rather than constantly watching other people.
Plan for breaks: For example, don't hesitate to take a weekend without Instagram.
