For all of the questions one through nine, I said no to all of them except number 8 which said “Often used social media to escape from negative feelings? Yes/No (Escape)” and I said yes. What I think about the items in the scale is over all the questions that were provided as I did not seem to expect a few but I did not expect it to dive into the emotional aspect of social media as it can take a toll on people especially younger because they are growing up in this environment as it continues to get worse for the next set of children. Many people like me grew up with social media but not as advanced as it is now for reference I had social media at nine to ten years of age and it has done some damage. I think that different patterns are found across the world due to people just having different upbringings and being different from one another no one is the same some people struggle with addictions and this is one of them I believe it is common for more people to become addicts to social media than drugs as it takes one away from reality and some are strong enough to separate themselves.
