Over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that I have developed a bit of a problem. I'm constantly on Tik Tok.
I've had the app for months now and would visit it on occasion, but never at the frequency that I am now. I can quite literally spend hours on end on this app. This addiction is self-diagnosed. I have not yet consulted a doctor yet but we are soon approaching that point. I'm not sure what it is about it that is so addictive, but I'm fully invested in this platform called Tik Tok.
My personal hypothesis is that because I was Tik Tok deficient for so long, that now my body is trying to counteract that deficiency by staying invested in it constantly.
I've subconsciously, gone to check my "for you" page twice in the matter of time it took me to get this far into this article.
It's insanity. I really don't understand what it is that makes everyone so crazy about this app. It honestly blows my mind.
If I really think about it, what makes everyone so attached to this app is most likely just the fact that everyone has a short attention span. The videos are so compact and so to the point that people are attracted to them in such an addictive manner.
In just one swift motion, you are on to the next video, and the next and the next. Before you know it, you are an hour in and you can't decide what is the real world and the Tik Tok world. I feel like I hear "renegade" in my nightmares.
The bottom line is, I have a crisis on my hands and I might need to seek medical help as soon a possible.
