It's not social media addiction, it's a narcissist's validation addiction. Social media is just an extremely low-effort way to for a narcissist to feed it.
I saw a guy walking around the shops yesterday yelling out "I'm about to order a Soy Latte" and then "This muffin is fire!" - I said what are you doing - he replied "the Internets down and I'm just letting everyone know what i'm doing"
I'm just surprised it took this long for him to have a big old meltdown enough to take his ball and go home.
He's been yelling at the internet for a really long time.
He'll come crawling back. Screaming at the internet is all he has now.
