The only way to actually quit scrolling (for the addicts)
I've spoken to hundreds of guys who are either struggling with their online consumption or previously had. and I've come to the conclusion that there are two different kinds of scrollers⦠there is "the Casual Scroller" this person scrolls from time to time and when they realise they've been scrolling for way to long they just turn of their phone. "the Casual Scroller" is often someone older and they've never really been trying to reduce their screen time because they don't really see it as a real problem. then there is the second kind of scroller "the Doom Scroller" I am this kind of scroller, I'm a Doom Scroller, what this means is when you realise you've been scrolling for way too long, you don't stop, or in other words YOU CAN'T STOP. "the Doom Scroller" cannot properly control their addiction, they cannot just 'exit' the scroll, it sucks them in and they lose control. "Okay Jonas I get you but what do I now do with this information??" once you've identified who you are you can plan ur next steps, if ur "the Casual Scroller" just delete the apps and tell urself to not scroll, simple and easy ;) but since you've read so far down this post that probably isn't you :/ I get you bro⦠you need to take more drastic measures, you need to give urself no choice but to quit, you need to slowly step away from each addiction. first you eliminate short form content, then you eliminate the TV-shows, then the movies etc⦠this is a slow and tedious process and I should probably also add that it's pretty difficult :/ but it works and it has helped tens of guys that I've told this to. and it helped me quit everything 5 months ago, it's a method I came up with myself and I call it the onion method. and trust me bro the journey is worth it keep going, and if u got some questions about this stuff then feel free to leave them below I'll be happy to help u out with anything ur struggling with :D
