10. How often do you block out disturbing thoughts about your life with soothing thoughts of the Internet?

Heh. That was the best Q.
Anyway I scored 33.

I have said before.. Internet is weird because it's definitely addictive, and when my phone or laptop is in reach I can be a bit compulsive, I feel addicted.. but then if I do something or go somewhere where there are no devices or no WiFi, I experience no sense of withdrawal. It doesn't bother me.

 

When it comes to these tests i wonder if people are truly being honest with themselves.

Internet can be addicting to many. The identity we establish along with the attention we receive can be addicting. Along with all sorts of ways to keep ourselves distracted and entertained.

Later.

 

Oh wow. I was really honest and I thought I was going to set records but I only scored a 37.

But it's hard to know what is "on line" sometimes cause sometimes ill game or watch YouTube or surf the porn and I don't consider that being "online" whereas I feel most of these questions tend to revolve around "online" social media, chatting, blogging etc I guess even forums.

HF is my homepage so I always seem to be online. And, because I'm such a good lovable user, I get a lot of likes and quotes so there's always something or someone to talk to/about.

Other than HF I don't really do "social" things online, the occasional adult chatroom for a bit of a laugh. I'm not on Facebook to talk to people. I rarely use Facebook messenger but only to do "business" type things.

If I'm enjoying myself then I don't feel like it's a bad thing really. People often say being "online" takes you away from social interactions...

I want to put a new spin on this. On one hand, I couldn't be bothered with the people around me and I won't mean friends or family, I just mean the people in general. And tbh, although I live in a tourist town, sometimes I can't think of anything better than sitting down with some you folks and having a chat or a laugh.
On the other hand, if there's going to be fun times with the chance of sin, I'm dropping you guys at the drop of a dime.

Come party.

 

I scored a 23
I am average apperently who would have thought .

some of the questions like 12 and 20 are like WTF, there should have been an answer that said NEVER instead of rarely

 

My thoughts exactly. Never was my first choice on quite a few of the questions. I scored 24.

 

47.

I think the test may be out of date. On most work days, I spend more than 12 hours a day online. (8-10 at work 2-4 at home). I have on more that one occasion spent 24 straight hours online with no sleep in between.

I objectively spend way too much time online. But it's essential to my job, so obviously I can't say that my productivity suffers because of it. I don't find myself fantasizing about when I'll be online again, because it's always as far away as my phone.

You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

I know, I dunno how I feel about it. I suppose it's good that I'm not in denial but I never thought I'd be the outlier in high score here.

I use the internet mostly for hipforums, reading the news and looking up recipes. I could probably stand to spend less time on hipforums
