Why am I obsessed with stalking my peers from high school and family I don’t talk to, how to stop?

Not so much stalling but constantly checking statuses of people from high school on my social media.. people I never even talked to. It’s concerning

You know at my house, if I gas up the lawn mower and mow my lawn; the next day I'll hear 2-3 other lawn mowers. You probably don't follow them because you even care about them, rather like my neighbors, you probably want to solidify your placement. You need to understand where they fit in and where you currently sit within your immediate social network.

How do you stop? You move tribes, find a different group whose accepting members - delete social media and find something not on the same site that relates to your hobbies and interests.

I don’t even have social media, i redownload it like every day to see what they’re up to

yeah exactly. You dont have a replacement, so you keep regressing back to your old addictions.

Get off Social Media it's not good for you anyway.

because you don't have any hobbies to fill out your day so your mind starts wandering and comparing yourself to others
