The month I disappeared into my phone — and how I came back

Hello everyone, and welcome to new readers. Today I want to share something I've never really put into words before.

I recently read a report on the impact of being online for many hours a day. Reading it forced me to take a long, honest look at the place the internet has in my life. Some of it was hard to admit. So here it is — my story, the things I've learned, and one piece of advice at the end for anyone going through the same thing.


How it started

I first went online at the beginning of my teenage years. All my friends were creating accounts to share their daily routines, posting pictures, showing off their personal activities. I wanted in. I wanted to follow them, see what they were doing, feel part of the group. I also installed messaging apps because it was easier to stay in touch with my friends and family.

For a while, it felt fine. Until it wasn't.

The dark side I didn't see at first

After several years, I started noticing the darker side of the internet — and the dangers of being online.

First, there's the issue of personal information. Nothing is ever 100% secure. Then there's the traceability of what you do online and who you are. The truth is: a single picture or comment can spark a controversy, and personal images can be shared in ways that hurt people deeply. On top of that, many people create fake accounts to become completely anonymous, so they can post their opinions without any real judgement, because nobody knows who's behind the screen.

For me, "online" mostly means social media — TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat. Apps that make you addicted, because the algorithm only shows you what you want to see. If you like cars, you'll get more cars. Studies show there's a complex psychological design behind these platforms, built to create an atmosphere where you never want to leave. They also show you the dream life of others — a life you don't have. The virtual world is built to make you dream, and people make profit from your addiction.

When I lost a month of my life

I had a period when I spent ten hours a day on my phone. I wanted to escape reality — my reality. Then one day, I looked around me, and nothing had moved. Nothing.

I had wasted a whole month doing nothing. So I decided to start looking for work, and I found a job in a restaurant.

Today, I still go online, but I'm much more careful about how long I stay there. I never want to feel again the disgust I felt the day I realised how much time I had lost. Now I can finally share moments with my friends and my family without that reflex of checking my phone every time I get a notification.

One thing I want you to know

I know this might sound silly, but inside me there's a real fight between myself and online addiction. I hope my story helps you, and that you'll know you're not the only one.

My one piece of advice: talk to people who can help you. Trust me — in the end, the only real battle is between you and you.

Thanks for reading.

🔥 Top 5 erreurs a graver

Si tu retiens ces 5 reflexes, tu gagnes 2 points sur le critere A.

1

FOR + duree, jamais DURING

for 10 hours · for many hours · for several years
"During" = pendant un evenement specifique (during the meeting). Pour une duree, c'est TOUJOURS "for".
2

Anonymous, pas "anonym"

anonymous (NOT anonym) · synonymous · enormous
"Anonym" est un mot allemand. En anglais, c'est anonymous (avec -ous a la fin).
3

Adjectifs scientifiques en -IC, pas -ICAL

scientific (NOT scientifical) · psychological · technological
Calque du francais "scientifique". En anglais : scientific. Apprends-le.
4

JAMAIS de double comparatif

easier OR more easy → easier (NOT "more easier")
Adjectif court → -er. Adjectif long → more. JAMAIS les deux ensemble.
5

Information & Media = INVARIABLES

information IS · social media IS
Pas de "s" possible. Calque francais classique. Pareil pour "advice", "knowledge", "research".

Ce qu'il faut retenir

« Tu avais l'histoire. Tu avais la pensee. C'est juste la langue qui t'a coute des points. »
