Do You Have Facebook Addiction Disorder?

written by John Chow on May 21, 2012

The Big Idea Mastermind

Do you spend way too much time on Facebook? Then you might have Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD)! I guess it kinda makes sense. We have Internet Addiction Disorder so, with 900 million users, Facebook Addiction Disorder is the next logical step. The drug and alcohol rehab blog, Rehab Today, has posted a neat little infographic on Facebook addiction and how to tell if you have it.

If you find yourself checking Facebook on your phone during meetings, on the bus, on dates, during movies and in bed, you may have a problem. Find out how big out social media problem is, why it’s there, and signs and examples of addiction.

Do you suffer from Facebook Addiction Disorder? Let us know in the comments. After all, the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. :)

I don’t think there’s such a thing as John Chow dot Com Addiction Disorder. Or at least I hope not!

John Chow Dot Com Addiction is far better then Facebook & Twitter. At least we are learning something from john. I rather make money then spend time in Facebook and Twitter but that’s just me.

Love your blog! Facebook is a really cool thing to connect with friends you haven’t seen or spoken to in years. I believe for some it’s way more than that. I have seen personally those that live in a fantasy world on facebook living out a life that doesn’t really exist. They post about things they have, money they make and how great they’re doing when in real life they’re struggling and just putting on a show for all of their “friends”. I do believe some people are as or more addicted to facebook than drugs or alcohol. And thankfully there are people out there that recognize this addiction and help.
Thanks,
John

Amm!! I am surely not Facebook Addicted, but I spend some time there daily.

I’m spending more than 4 hours a day on Facebook, but I do not have Facebook Addiction Disorder!

Facebook is a great way to catch up with old friends and for some it supplies a medium to live vicariously through others. Today, I see Facebook as a great way to market myself and discover new information by simply asking my “friends” their opinions. The question I have; is Facebook the new fad that will drizzle away in years to come? Remember when Yahoo! and Yahoo! chat forums were the cats meow or prior to Yahoo! AOL?

I’m addicted to Facebook but I wouldn’t call it a disorder. No.

menj May 24, 2012 at 1:28 am

Definitely addicted to Facebook but it isn’t a disorder.

Facebook addiction is growing fast and the only person loving it is the Mark, the owner of Facebook.

Yes, John there is an addiction disorder to your blog. I am addicted also. I love your blog.

Yep…have it and logged off. It was like a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. I was better off not knowing what all of my friends/acquaintances did all day.
