It leads to aimless scrolling and sometimes reading if I’m motivated.
I haven't related to a feeling so much in recent time
I power the computer, launch terminal(htop), text editor, obsidian, webapps, firefox, reddit(webapps)lemmy(webapps+ sometimes),tumblr(webapps) youtube(webapps) and all there bookmark managers and then 20 mins in, the computer crashes
I recognize i have a problem here but i am sure what exactly it is and what does the solution look like. How do you all browser on PCs and how do you deal with the fear of missing out(what i assume is happening here)? How many social medias is too much?
What helped me overcoming FOMO was just missing out on stuff online or in online games on purpose and realizing that I didn't actually missed out on anything.
Why would you open up all of those things at once if it keeps crashing?
Why not just open one thing, and when you're done move on to another?
Like, I would say get more RAM, but that's not really an answer these days
I browse when I want but my analysis isn't the same. I don't feel like I'm missing out when not browsing. In fact, it's the opposite. I know I'm missing out (on real life) by browsing. I don't think I will ever look back and say "damn I wish I browsed more".
I don't feel like I'm looking for something specific, as much as waiting for something to happen.
I have a lot of stuff I check multiple times per day, my google news feed, lemmy, youtube, and a few specific reddits. I also spend a lot of time on Discord in like a dozen different servers.
The "something has happened" part makes me happy briefly, but I've realized it doesn't really do anything for me in terms of advancing my life, so I pretty much treat it like video game time. Doesn't mean I've stopped doing it, but I've tried to pull back a little bit.
This is definitely on point for myself as well. If it were also OPs problem, I'd say his high when the "something has happened" high hits has become so minuscule as to be almost non-existant and now he is in a desperate search for anything he can find. But also maybe he has an entirely different root cause.
I think of my time with devices like a "food pyramid," as though that concept ever made sense -
Do you ever look at htop during/around the time of crashing? Notice anything unusual?
