1. YOU CHECK IT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
One of the commonest signs you are addicted to social media is if you check it first thing in the morning. This isn't a definite sign; for some of us, it is just a habit we enjoy while we are waking up. But if it is coupled along with some of the other signs you are addicted to social media listed here, it may be something you need to work on. Another sign that runs right along with this one is checking it in the middle of the night. Try to break yourself from this, even if it's just for a week to give yourself some free mental space.

2. YOU TEXT ON YOUR MOBILE WHILE WALKING OR EATING
This is one of the core signs you are addicted to social media. If you are the type that always have to make new post or tweet while walking or eating, be sure you are addicted to social. This isn't a healthy habit though; you need to break yourself away from it. Especially if you are always reminded of your breakfast, launch or dinner.

3. WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR LAPTOP OR MOBILE PHONE AT HOME AND FEEL A SENSE OF ISOLATION
Because you can't use any of the social media on your phone or PC and your whole mind is on making new posts or tweets; you think of recent messages and comments you had on your last post, it's crystal clear you are a social media addict. And whenever you find yourself away from your PC you keep wondering what your friends could be talking about on the trending post/tweets.

4. YOU ARE ALWAYS LOST TEXTING WHILE YOU ARE WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY
That moment when you are with your friends and they are discussing on something you should contribute on and you are lost chatting on social media. Many of your friends have stopped visiting you because they think you are a nerd and antisocial, it's because you are addicted to social media.

5. WHILE ONLINE, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO KEEP THE LIGHT OF YOUR PHONE ON
Another sign that assess you are addicted to social media is having to keep the light of your phone on, even when you are not typing to anyone. You like keeping conscious of who comes online or offline, be sure you are social media addict.

6. YOU HAVE MORE SOCIAL MEDIA ICONS ON YOUR SCREEN THAN PRODUCTIVITY
You log into different social network at the same time and would have to carry your power bank along with you just to keep you active on all of them is a symptom you are addicted to social media.
