Have you ever dreamt of your steemit post or in some cases thought about steemit and or your posts while eating with your family, always with your smart phone or laptop in the toilet, forgot to brush your teeth or eat, wake up and rush to steemit platform , forgot about Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn et al and in some cases dream about steemit posts while making love? If so then you might be addicted to this amazing platform however wait!!!! Better to be a bit addicted to steemit than Face book, WhatsApp , Instagram et al isn’t it -because at least you are learning new things and at the same time making money isn’t it? Below are some few points:
Danger of being addicted: social media addiction is real whether it is Facebook, or steemit , addiction is addiction . Even though you gain knowledge, make great contacts and make good money on steemit, you still have to be aware of the dangers of addiction especially forgetting important things like brushing your teeth, eating and sleep deprivation which are bad for your well-being
Relationship Issue: social media addiction is a relationship killer. Reason is that most people spend quality time on their PC or smart phone and in extreme cases they tend to forget the presence of their family members or children and do not have time for outdoor activities with friends and thus spend time online -making visual friends who share the same addiction with them. Even though you actually meet great / real intelligent people on steemit , spending too much time there (daily) can lead to family issues and or health issues.
# Some solutions:
Professional Help: If you know that you cannot control your addictive habits then it’s time to ask a professional for help.
Take a break: Steemit or any other social media platform will not vanish if you take a break (holiday, weekend outdoor outings etc) and spend some quality time with your friends and family. This is good because you will come back as a new person.
**Admit it: **Most people will never admit that they are addicted and this is dangerous because such people will never find a solution.
Conclusion : Even though steemit is a great platform and spending a lot of time there means more success in your blogging , more great contacts, learning new things daily - better than any other social media platform. Conversely, however, we all should note that there too much of everything is bad and there are still dangers in addiction and thus act accordingly.

Hahaha imagine if one is making love with his wife and screaming steemit oh oh oh,.... 70 percent of steemit users are addicted to it. But is better to be addicted to steemit than other social media. But we should exercise some caution. Well written article.

Good point, I agree.
I am interested in getting addicted to steemit so long as it will give me enough money, but i will do it with caution. nice job.

You are correct....hahahaha good point
Social media addiction is what we are all guilty of. In my opinion i think should create time to steem hot and time to take care of ourselves and family. good job.
Good point, I agree
Addiction can be manage with early sign. But steemit is too steam , lets hope no one is like what you wrote. Nice post. Upvoted.
Welcome..some people are like that already...even me too...I love steemit and check it out daily...hahaha
The addiction to Steemit can give one far more freedom... if used correctly. As some here have done this could become a career, which most do not equate as an addiction, but for most it is as even at home they think about their job.
Good point, that is the way I see it with steemit too...however too much of everything is bad isnt it?
This is so timely for me. At first I was just sleeping a bit late. But just last night I have lost sleep and missed work today :( I just don't know how to be successful here that I'm working and studying about it too hard. And even if I work too hard, it's still not enough to get noticed. This is why I have been obsessed in working more. But you're right, a break would be good and wouldn't hurt. Thanks for this nudge @charles1 . I'm going to take a nap now.
welcome and read my older posts for tips on how to be more successful here....work smart not too hard
Addiction is difficult to fight in my opinion. A lot of patience and time needed. Its a journey towards a balance and purpose life. Everyone has his/her own addiction. As long as we're still in this temporary life, we always carry ourselves, the world is there, temptations everywhere in and out. If we think we already are free in addiction. Its not true. We are still fighting to free ourselves. This is based on my faith, knowledge and experience. Again, its my own personal opinion. I'm not an expert in anything, just sharing my thoughts to you.
Thanks for your post @charles1!
Very good point @ronel , I agree with you...wish you success.
welcome
:)
On Steemit, there are different kinds of incentives than with other social media. I think that most of those incentives encourage people to improve themselves by being more positive, learning to write and communicate more effectively and to develop discipline to keep going. If Steemit helps people become addicted to self-improvement, I am all for it!
The smame here..I agree
Success is destructive
It depends isnt it?
@originalworks
Like you shed I back ur point@steemfuture steemit is too steam, I prefer it to other apps
Good point
Every social media comes with addiction but one can only manage addiction... You set time limits for everything it could go a long way in helping for a start.
Good point, I agreee.
Are you kidding me steemit are killing miself i think is similar to every one near here.
But steemit is amazing
haha good point, I agree
busy each
??? guess you are a bot?
It is not right to take any profession as a profession. Future should work on thinking.
depends isnt it?
The issue of addiction in social media is very rampant, especially we ladies, it is difficult to avoid. nice job.
I agree...good point
as much as dreamed about my publications, but when I wake up I want to have a few votes to brighten up my day
Ok
@originalworks
This bot is slow I guess. :P
Sleeping i guess ...hahaha
I too tried this on my posts. Worked for some and slept for some. :)
Was working fine few before..I guess may people are calling on it now.
I see a lot of potential in Steemit to be the next generation addiction. However the flok is yet to join Steemit. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be another social media platform where personal life posts are shared more than some quality content.
Good point , however I dont thing so because most people sharing personal life stories only will end of losing upvotes...hahaha
