Symptoms that might show that you are a Social Media Addict:

a) Cannot go on a trip or holiday without wondering if you can get Internet connection there.

b) Seriously contemplate getting a new phone or BB with WiFi and Twitter phone interface over your old still working-good phone, just to ‘stay connected’.

c) Immediately think of how to share the information every time you see something ‘newsworthy’ i.e. new brand of cereal you had for breakfast.

d) When your Facebook account holds more of your life information than your birth cert, Identification Card and both parent's’ memories have together.

e) Feels uneasy when you have not sent a tweet or updated your Facebook status for 24 hours…

…which leads to Social Media Withdrawal!

a) List down mentally the things you’ve done since the last time you tweeted, so that you can update everyone once you get your hands on an Internet connection.

b) Feels lost and ‘outdated’ until you are willing enough to forego potential outings just because your hands are itching to go home to check your emails and Facebook notifications.

c) Assume an expression of sincere extreme shock at the suggestion of deleting your Twitter account.

d) You come out with a list of Withdrawal Symptoms of a Twitter Addict when you are supposed to be listening to Sunday’s sermon. *raises hands in guilty surrender*
