Now I take my phone even to the bathroom, and as soon as I get home and lie down, I start scrolling through videos and social media, absorbing tons of fragmented information until I feel dizzy. Why can’t I stop doing something that I know is harmful and doesn’t even make me feel happy?
There is nothing in the world that people cannot. So if you want to, you can. But the point is that your environment is forcing you to do so. You learn to use your phone by watching your friends, they constantly post pictures, share reels, which basically releases a happy hormone called dopamine in your head. As a result you feel very happy and relaxed. You now have to find something else that makes you happy outside of social media.
Also on YouTube you will find many videos on how to stay away from the distractions of other creatures.
