If you are new to ITAA, you may be wondering whether you are an internet and technology addict. The following questions may help you identify whether you experience any of the patterns and symptoms common to internet and technology addiction:
Internet Addiction Questionnaire:
- Do I ever go online to quickly check something and then discover that hours have passed?
- Do I ever swear off or set limits around a particular app or online activity, and then break my commitments?
- Do I have internet and technology binges that last all day or late into the night?
- Do I reach for my devices whenever I have free time?
- Does my internet and technology usage lead me to neglect my personal hygiene, nutritional needs, or physical health?
- Do I feel isolated, emotionally absent, distracted, or anxious when I’m not online?
- Does my internet usage contribute to conflict or avoidance in personal relationships?
- Have the negative consequences of my internet usage jeopardized my studies, finances, or career?
- Do I hide or lie about the amount of time I spend online or the kinds of digital content I consume?
- Do I feel guilt or shame around my internet use?
Nobody should have to suffer due to their internet and technology use. If you’ve answered yes to several of the above questions, we encourage you to consider getting support.
