Overload

Social media

By TheartistjoskoPublished 24 days ago 1 min read

The struggle of social media addiction.

The habit loop of humans being programmed.

Dopamine seeking,

Hijacked neurotransmitters,

Mindlessly, dopamine increases; happy,

Dopamine decrease; unhappy,

Impulsive, compulsive; transcendence,

Repeat.

Forgotten sense, time lost, lost in self,

Selfie, selfie, click click click, Vanity,

Narcissism, Face filters, forgotten face,

Uploaded, overloaded, autopilot,

Addiction.

Distraction, programming consumption,

Self abandonment, disconnected minds,

Separated souls, anxiety, depression and

so much more,

A real tree, a photo of tree; click pic post,

Everyone’s photo of same tree, valuable,

Drinking up digital landscapes,

Feeding on pixels,

Endlessly empty, hunger, filling a void,

40 followers, 700 followers, 100,000 goal

Made it, Reward, then thank, then more,

Never full need so many more,

1 million more,

Self medicating, drip drip drip,

Mental health,

Digital prescriptions, addictions, access,

Phone drop!

How much content is enough?
