I don’t even know how to start this, but I’ll just say it straight: I think TikTok is frying my brain.
It’s embarrassing to admit because it sounds dramatic, but honestly, that’s what it feels like. I downloaded TikTok years ago. I don’t even remember the exact day anymore. Back then, everyone was saying, “Oh, it’s fun, it’s just quick videos, it’s nothing serious.” I followed the hype. but now I’m regretting my decision , I told myself I had control. I told myself, “I’ll only use it a little. Just to laugh before bed.”
But now… now I can’t even picture my day without it.
I wake up and the first thing I do is reach for my phone. Not water. Not prayer. Not stretching. TikTok. Straight into it. I don’t even give my brain a chance to breathe before I start shoving videos into it. And once I start, it’s hard to stop. Ten minutes becomes thirty. Thirty becomes an hour. By the time I realize, I’ve wasted so much time.
It’s not just mornings either. It’s every part of my life. Cooking? I have TikTok playing in the background. Studying? I take “short breaks” that turn into endless scrolling. Even when I try to work on something I care about, I find myself switching back and forth, lying to myself that I’m multitasking. I’m not multitasking. I’m just doing everything badly.
