A local woman’s social media addiction has now reached such a startling level, that she now feels accomplished when she watches a movie instead of just mindlessly scrolling through Instagram Reels.
Speaking to The Advocate, Maya Sui, 29, admits that her attention span has gone to shit in the past few years, to the point where she doesn’t understand how this is the same brain she used in high school to smash out 1200 word assignments the day before they were due.
Having recently come to the conclusion that she’ll likely spend 40 hours looking at a phone screen if she continues at the rate she’s going, Maya says she’ll feel a lot better about herself if she looks at a larger screen instead.
“I watched a whole movie the other night and only looked at my phone twice”, says Maya, with a proud smile, “and now I’m even getting to a TV show with a pretty hectic storyline so I have to concentrate.
Maya says she’s also started watching anime with subtitles, to fine tune her focus.
“It’s actually really helping, otherwise I would have completely missed Reiner say he was the armoured titan.”
More to come.
