Many people often spend a lot of time and energy chatting and browsing online for no reason, which affects the quality of life, reduces work efficiency, damages their health, and leads to various behavioral abnormalities, personality disorders and partial dysfunction of sympathetic nervous system. Its typical symptoms are depression, no pleasure or loss of interest, sleep disorder, disorder of biological clock, loss of appetite, weight loss, lack of energy, mental retardation and excitement, decreased self-evaluation and ability, slow thinking, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, decreased social activities, heavy smoking, drinking and drug dependence.
"speechless" type
Many people are "speechless" in face-to-face communication because of long-term communication through network communication tools.
Miss Wu, who works in an advertising company, almost all her contacts with customers are conducted on MSN. In addition to talking about work, she can also talk about personal issues such as each other's mood and preferences online, so she is "very close" to many customers. What puzzles Miss Wu is that every time she meets a customer, she finds that there is nothing to talk about, and she is often silent. But as soon as I got online, the communication was smooth immediately.
Many white-collar workers have experienced such similar "open communication barriers". In fact, this is the sequela of network dependence. It is difficult to feel the real feeling of direct contact when you hit the keyboard for a long time, which will undoubtedly have a negative impact on people's psychological adjustment and interpersonal communication. How can we get rid of these negative effects? Experts believe that white-collar workers can give up using MSN at the right time, create opportunities for face-to-face communication with others, and force themselves to disconnect from the internet when necessary; And actively participate in some friends' gatherings to find "chat-dependent" entertainment methods without internet.
Establishing one's own social circle in virtual space has become the normal life of many white-collar workers.
Not long ago, Mr. Liu changed his job, and the reason for his job-hopping was staggering-because his old employer issued a new rule that online chat tools were not allowed to be used during office hours. Mr. Liu said that the first thing he does when he comes to work every day is to open MSN. Even if there is nothing to communicate, as long as he sees it hanging on the internet, he will feel at ease. This has been a habit for a long time. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I can't concentrate on my work. Mr. Liu said that he knew that his dependence on the Internet was hopeless.
"MSN dependence" is one of the manifestations of network dependence. According to reports, age, gender, education level, etc. Will affect the degree of personal dependence on the network, but the dominant factor is personal personality. Research shows that people with neurotic, negative and sensitive personality characteristics rely most on the internet; On the contrary, people with personality characteristics such as justice, restraint and formality have the weakest dependence on the internet.
Before quitting internet addiction
Internet dependence is a clinical symptom of Internet addiction, which is different from Internet addiction. Internet addicts have no typical addiction symptoms, but only show spiritual dependence on the network. If internet addicts do not restrain their online behavior and let their dependence continue to develop, they are likely to develop into internet addiction. Although there is no clear treatment method for Internet dependence in TCM, there is a set of good health care treatment methods for a series of symptoms caused by Internet dependence, such as depression, dizziness, fatigue and loss of appetite. But the method of keeping in good health can't fundamentally relieve the bondage of the network. Most internet addicts lack emotional communication with their family and friends in real life, which leads to the feeling of inner loneliness. The internet makes up for their shortcomings in reality, and they are more open to communicating with strangers online.
To prevent and quit Internet addiction, we must first face up to the harm that Internet addiction brings to our work and life. Learn to control online time, cultivate other beneficial interests and divert attention; At the same time, remind yourself to face up to the harm that computers bring to your body, such as cervical spondylosis and decreased vision. When necessary, seek the help of a professional psychologist.
