Your Type
You only intended to scroll for five minutes, but snap out of it an hour later; scrolling is like falling into a time black hole for you. This state of "easily losing time perception" actually reflects your deep resistance to "facing life's pressures and important decisions"; you fear that once you leave this virtual safe haven, you must deal with the real-world problems that make you anxious or overwhelmed, so you use "unconscious immersion" as an excuse to procrastinate. But avoiding problems won't make them disappear. Try setting a fifteen-minute alarm before opening social media next time, and decisively turn off the screen when it rings; when you learn to take back control of your time, you also take back the courage to face life.

Time perception research shows that immersive phone users underestimate their actual usage by an average factor of 3 — they feel like 30 minutes have passed when 1.5 hours actually have.
