Hello fellow Instagram-addicts! I thank you for taking the time to step away from your beloved Instagram feed to take a look at my article. I have listed 20 of the most telling signs that you have an Instagram addiction.
- Instagram is the first app you check upon waking up and the last app you check before going to sleep.
- Choosing a photo to Instagram takes you at least two hours.
- As soon as you post to Instagram you immediately text your best friends to go like it....and if they don't, you must question your friendship.
- You plan out your Instagram before you do certain activities.
- The “following” page (where you can see what other people like) has taught you some very insightful things about your followers.
- You are a loyal liker to almost every one of your followers even if you haven’t talked to them in years.
- You don’t actually use Instagram filters (shout out to Vsco and Afterlight).
- Your 13-year-old cousin has more followers than you and it has taken you a long time to come to terms with this.
- You cannot have a black and white photo next to another black and white photo on your feed.
- You have shamefully taken a fake candid photo just so it would look cute on your gram.
- You post photos at certain times in order to get more likes.
- You have a finsta (fake instagram).
- You ask at least three people if the filter is okay before you Instagram the photo.
- You check your feed every 10 minutes.
- There is an instant rush of adrenaline after you post an Instagram and the likes start rolling in.
- You must have a good following to follower ratio.
- If you don’t get 11 likes in 3 minutes, the photo has to be deleted.
- All of your fake accounts must like your real account’s photos.
- You expect a certain number of likes on every photo you post, and are disappointed when you do not achieve that goal.
- The picture has to not only be good quality, but it also has to add to your overall Instagram look.
