Your Type
Your first reaction to boredom is scrolling on your phone, killing time with an endless switch of short videos and posts. This habit of "using high-frequency digital stimulation to fill the void" actually reflects your underlying fear of "facing yourself and deep emotions"; you fear that once things get quiet, suppressed worries, loneliness, or self-doubt will surface, so you use "external fragmented information" to numb your brain's perception. But when the brief pleasure fades, only a deeper emptiness remains. Try putting your phone further away next time you subconsciously pick it up, close your eyes, and take three deep breaths; when you learn to gently accompany your own emotions, you will no longer need to rely on a screen to escape reality.

Digital behavior research shows that infinite scroll design causes average users to exceed their 'just five minutes' plan 73% of the time. This is because variable reward mechanisms — intermittent unpredictable payoffs — use the same neural induction mechanism as slot machines.
