Abstract

With the development of technology, social media has been disseminated to the masses, and now basically everyone has their social media accounts. People may not realize that they are addicted to social media, but on the subway, on the bus, while waiting for a meal, when relaxing, or when people are alone, people often use social media to pass their time, they subconsciously open social media to browse, but they can’t live without it. The term “low-headed” is also used to describe those people who are always on their phones. The topic of this article is how to overcome social media addiction. Some case studies or personal experiences will be cited. It is divided into “what,” “why,” and “how” sections so that people understand what social media addiction is, whether they have this symptom, and why they are addicted to it. Finally, it will explain how to choose a better choice, i.e. how to overcome social media addiction. The study is focused on people who are addicted to cell phones. In this era of new media, cell phone addiction has its causes and many external factors, but people can still avoid social media addiction if they are conscious to overcome other aspects such as dependency.
