You check your phone constantly and especially when you hear the ‘ding’ of a notification You feel anxious when you cannot access social media, online games or the internet Your online surfing time has cut into the workday and cut into your real-life relationships You are more concerned with your online ‘friends’ than people in real life You get depressed when your post or photo doesn’t get enough ‘likes’ or follows You check your accounts before you even roll out of bed Friends and family remark that you are ‘preoccupied” You fantasize about how soon you can get online You think the game is now real life and begin to act out scenes in real life from the games
