Do You Struggle With A Social Media Addiction?

 Disclaimer: All characters appearing in this post about social media addiction are NOT fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purposeful. If you recognize your own actions in at least 3 of the 12 points, comments and/or implied mannerisms herein; YOU HAVE A SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION and should seek help immediately. Or at least put down the smart phone, close Facebook and Twitter for 15 minutes, grab a drink of water, maybe a snack, and go cry in the bathroom. I did.
