Doom scrolling, and a lot of just general engagement from your phone. like consistently needing to be on a phone. It’s damaging and whenever I have kids I will be ensuring that they don’t end up like me.
Holding in issues you have with people, nothing gets resolved and generally it’s usually miscommunication, and it just makes you have grudges against your friends, it’s really not worth it
Scrolling on TikTok specifically. Idk but tiktok just makes me feel like shit. Whenever im on reels, im in a good mood. But when im on tiktok even tho i no longer have depressing videos on my fyp there’s just something abt it that always brings down my mood.
Avoiding conflict. For the longest time I thought I was doing others a favor by “being nice” and “keeping the peace”. I truly thought that by not engaging in conflict, I was reducing harm to those around me.
Now I’m almost 40 and am having panic attacks as I ask members of my team to actually do their jobs instead of me doing all their work for them.
Tiktok😭 hate to admit it. The longer i spend on that app the worse my anxiety gets. It’s designed to know your triggers and get you to interact and stay on it.
Resisting sleep. You’re resisting your body’s natural urge to sleep and the natural rhythm. It will mess up a ton of things that will only be noticeable after a certain age.
It gives you dopamine you get from sex but without the bonding .. this slowly makes you snti social because you can easily get the supply without going through the hassle of a partner
It isolates you , put unrealistic expectations on your partner, normalises abusive sex, causes impotency among healthy men because real women cannot match the porn stars
I had a therapist once who told me to write a list of everything I wanted in an ideal partner. I did and she then told me, “now how many of those things do you do/have?”
I realized how little I take care of myself or show myself love in the ways that aren’t always easy but are vital for a happy, sustainable life. Consistent sleep schedule, time management, indulging in anxiety, drinking too much, not eating enough or even having food in my fridge. I’m vain so I stay fit, count calories, do all the skin care stuff. But it’s all for show. I’m not really happy and I feel like once I hit 40, all of those unhealthy behaviors that I try to hide from others will start to show. Loving yourself is not just a feeling but an action!

Social media.
Multitasking. Lack of sleep schedule.
I think for me it’s not speaking out when you know something bad is happening to you
Watching the news

Any hobbies that don’t involve going out are probably bad for me. I still never go out except for my work though.
Doomscrolling. Seeing constant negativity really gets to you mentally.
Consuming too much of one thing destroy your mental health. Too much TV, social media, bad food, porn, etc.
Porn! So many studies show how bad it is for us, yet people defend it harder than a rich white teenager with a vaping problem.
Sitting on social media
Making content
Watching other people’s reels on insta or tiktok
Compare your life with others
Porn, I’m 19 and it ruined my life. No friends, no social circle, no girlfriend, virgin. If anyone teens are here PLS DO NOT WATCH PORN
Overthinking and creating fake scenarios in my head. I just can‘t beat it.
Drinking alcohol…
Watching videos (short/long) fed to me by advanced algorithms on Youtube and Instagram.
For me it was slacking on my 30 minute daily walk..depression took over, over the winter..
I’m back on track now.
Holding in issues you have with people, nothing gets resolved and generally it’s usually miscommunication, and it just makes you have grudges against your friends, it’s really not worth it
I’d say porn but we all know it’s not harmless.
Not recognising or acknowledging your feelings

Sleeping in. Messes up your sleep schedule and it’s hard to get it back!
Entertainment in general. It takes more & more of our time because it’s titillating & easy, but we were never supposed to be entertained constantly.
