Struggles with Social Media Addiction

The speaker expresses a deep concern about their addiction to YouTube Shorts, highlighting the extreme measures taken to manage their social media habits. Despite having two phones—one with social media apps and another predominantly for utility with limited apps—they found themselves unable to resist the lure of YouTube Shorts. This addiction escalated to the extent that the speaker deleted YouTube from their main phone, as it interfered with daily activities, such as using the bathroom and going to sleep.
