What is doomscrolling exactly?

248 viewsOther

I hear it all the time and I always thought it is when you can’t stop scrolling? And it’s a bad thing too. So could you maybe give an example and explain what it is and say why it is so bad?

Continuously reading negative stories/comments because you can’t stop yourself. You aren’t enjoying it. You’re just adding more things to feel doomed about. You may try to convince yourself that you’re looking for something hopeful, but when you do come across a positive story you may skip it since it doesn’t seem as important as the negative one just under it. It can make you depressed because you’re getting a constant influx of bad news, and there’s oftten nothing you can actually do, which may lead you to feel the world is doomed.
