PIU: (My) Phone Is Used (too much)



Hi Guys!

Well thanks to this article  now i know the name of my addiction 
PIU---> Problematic Internet Use


I realized that I have this addiction 2 years ago.

My super sweet dad one morning woke up and decided to bring my IPhone with him to work to prove me that I was addicted to it.

How did I feel? Completely lost 




Like what am I doing now?









After that day you know what changed in my life? NOTHING

Now I'm just aware that I have this addiction and the real problem is that I don't want to do anything to stop using my phone so much.

This is what I do with my phone everyday:
1) Wake up and  spend 10-15 min checking all my social medias (Fb, Instagram, Snapchat, Ask.fm and whatsapp)
2) Have a shower and get dressed always with my phone. Morning is a great moment to talk with my Italian friends!
3) As soon as I arrive at school I check every social media again
4) During classes I can't use my phone a lot but I do it AS SOON AS I CAN
5) Come home and spending all the rest of the time doing homework WITH THE PHONE, having  a snack WITH THE PHONE, going  to the gym WITH THE PHONE, having dinner WITHOUT THE PHONE (family rules) and watching tv WITH THE PHONE
6) When I go to sleep the last thing that I do is obviously

READING
Yeah exactly fortunately I can still fully enjoy other things and books are one of those.




Well it is clear that I have a problem, but I know that most of  you guys have the same addiction and alsoI don't know any person that has problem to socialize because of PIU. Therefore I can say that I'm not that worried. I'm not saying that this addiction is not real but I think that fortunately a lot of people are still able to deal with it and have a social life. Anyway we have to be careful because I'm quite sure that is not gonna be fine forever...
