During COVID, I had a mental breakdown when I finished a university exam (which had been at home, on my computer) and was desperate to be anywhere but at my desk, sitting at my computer. However, I was also desperate to decompress with my friends, but they were in my computer.

I have no friends. I am in fact addicted to screens.

Saying “you’re addicted to screens” in 2025 is like saying “you’re addicted to roads” or “you should wean yourself off of your dependence on electricity” a hundred years ago 🙄

there’s simply no way to address this issue without coming off as either a luddite or a loon. i’ll leave it at that, lest i start honking
