7 Ways to Get Over your Facebook Addiction ...

I have to admit, the first time I joined Facebook, and I found myself tapping into it constantly. It’s as if I was going to miss something important if I didn’t log in and see what was going on or who was posting new information. I don’t think I was to the point of being addicted to Facebook, but that’s just my opinion! If you feel you’ve become absorbed in the going-ons of FB, then take a look at the following list. Here are 7 ways to get over your Facebook addiction. I hope you find something that helps.

7. Sign up on a different site

Maybe you need a change of pace to take your mind off of Facebook. Sign up for a writing site or one that goes along with a particular hobby you enjoy, such as gardening or woodworking. Some people don’t have any other sites they go to, which might be the cause for an addiction to start with Facebook.

6. Get a friend to help

Call up a trusted friend when you feel like chatting, instead of getting on Facebook. I know it’s a lot easier to connect with tons of friends all at once on FB. But, if you are trying to refrain from spending so much time on there, then you might try using the phone to get in contact with one of your dear friends instead.

5. Delete your account

This is a rather extreme one and might be hard for the true Facebook addict to go through with. Sure, you can always form a new account again, but you might be more inclined to stay away from Facebook for a while if you don’t have an account to quickly log into.

    I have an addiction to Facebook haha, so i decided to deactivate it for a week and just see what I thought of a Facebook free life. I found that without Facebook I had a ... See more lot more time for other things I needed to get done. So I got more done, and I realized it’s not so bad. The only thing you would have to get over is the want to connect with friends. Save it for work, school, email, whatever.
