I am addicted to leaving troll comments and watching videos on YouTube I really want to stop. I want to grow up. This is driving me crazy. I want to do something that's worth my time. But it's really hard to just stop doing it, so please don't tell me to just don't go on youtube because it won't work. I need a bit of a help here... Ty.

Nothing wrong with watching youtube videos and going on youtube daily, as long as you are doing other things with your life. It is understandable that it is addictive, probably because it is interactive. It is really a global community and digital culture that we have all decided to be a part of for different reasons. If you want to get off then ask yourself why you want to and why you were using it in the first place. Try reading a good novel or interacting with others outside if that is what you want.

Trolling is addictive...especially in youtube where u get so much response 2 even ur most worthless comments. But think of doing creative work..not talking about editing and uploadin 2 youtube, but a career-centric thought which can propel u to the heights of fame and fortune in Real life not just in cyberlife's virtually-inflated bubble of fleeting colors. U know u r born 4 something great, u r never destined to waste away in a inglorious, commonplace manner. So u need 2 give priorities 2 ur real great tasks at hand e.g., education and job or writing and drawing etc whatevr suit ur situtaion. always rembr no1s gonna remember u for trolling on a site..u have to do something full of impact which can create lasting impressions on ppl s mind, which can leave a legacy for future generation . it doesnt matter if its small/medium /great. Be remembered, be great and be serious about ur aim in life..set a target and leave all other activites which dont help u 2 get there. It's tough but u ahve to start ur journey now..one small step in the right direction can grow to a giant step sometimes later

My problem is, is that I would much rather be doing something more productive on the computer but then... YouTube says "hey endless hours of free entertainment that you can completely control what you watch and it never feels like a waste of time" I have quite a few subscriptions so I make it a point to watch all my favorite YouTube channels' new videos every day and I can't seem to stop until iv'e run out of stuff to watch.

Well, if I was in your position I would set a timer and cut some time each time you go on. Everyday you go on, limit your hours for when you're on Youtube. As the days go on, you should be able to get over watching Youtube more easily. I did this with a game I was addicted to and it helped a lot.



Try and get a new hobby that you may be interested into. Get outside of your house and get off of the computer. I realized as I went outside and did more things with my friends, I was able to not think of my addiction anymore. It was able to get me away from the computer.

How to Perform a you tube Exorcism



things you will need a book light, magazines, news paper, and a good book



Step 1: get up in the morning go out get the paper head to the toilet read the paper for about an hour focus on the want adds because you probably need job anyway



Step 2: around lunch time while you're siting on the couch with your I pad on you tube put it down and pick up some of those magazines you got your feet propped up on see if there's something that interest you in it for more than 2 seconds



Step 3: While you are laying in bed at night instead watching those fight videos on your laptop grab your book light and find a good book to read until you fall asleep



Step 4: Say this 3 times a day morning noon and night- the power of written text compels you - the power of written text compels you - the power of written text compels you



you tube be gone Reading is power this house is clean

You could use YouTube in other ways. Make a channel where you upload parody videos or songs. That way you can troll but it counts as entertainment instead ;) Do you like music, can you play an instrument or sing well? If you have the skills, write a song of your own and upload it.



As the others say, get other hobbies as well. What do you like besides spending time online? You also didn't mention if you're a student or go to work.

Youtube at present is the best source for learning useful things. If you are addicted over youtube and watching good things and learning different things then it is actually good for you. But if your regular works lacking due to this addiction than just try to omit this addiction as soon as possible

Addiction to anything can only be said when one's daily life events are effected by the obsessive behaviors. If you want to stop using youtube, make a list of your favorite hobbies to do in a day. Don't keep youtube in it or give a very little time to it if you think you are getting withdrawal symptoms of addiction. If you keep following the routine you are definitely going to get rid of the obsession.

The watching youtube videos is a common addiction. If you want to stop, just trying cutting down first. As for the troll comments, just remember that everybody that sees your comment instantly hates you. If that is really what you're going for, then you should probably seek therapy.

I used to do that, but there's you spend so much time watching tedious videos that it dulls the urge to continue. Now I've moved onto the hard stuff - yahoo answers. That really is addictive. Some of the top posters have 100,000s of comments. Stay on YouTube it's much less harmful.

What i would do is find away to delete your YouTube account so that way you can post comments and troll anyone. But if you make YouTube videos then what I would do is find some way to take out your trolling needs in video games were you can troll other people in something where its just part of the fun instead of something that might be hurtful.

The problem is not Youtube itself since we all go to youtube to check out videos we wan t to look up. The problem lies with in yourself of leaving troll comments. The problem you need to ask yourself is why are you leaving troll comments? It is because you get a kick out of it? You wan t to make someone upset? You want to see how someone react? Don t get me wrong looking up videos a on youtube especially if your into something can be addicting but leaving troll comments is another thing. I don t see nothing wrong of looking up videos since people have other hobbies they spend all day on which is not a problem. I would say do other things like go exercise, listen to music, hang out with friends, play videos games or other activities that doesn t involved sitting in front of a computer. I think I would back off the trolling things since at the end of day you don t know who your talking to on the other end of the computer. In this day in age the internet is a scary place so I would cut the trolling stuff out since some people take troll comments to the next level !!!

I am not a Mental health expert, but it seems like you're looking for some sort of connection with other people. You seek to communicate in with others, but you are choosing a method there the communication is one-way. You should think about what makes you want to leave comments. Try engaging with other people directly, friends, colleagues, neighbors, siblings, and see if your urge to troll YouTube diminishes. The urge to interact and socialize is a powerful one, and sometimes our electronic lifestyles trick us into seeing the internet as real interaction, but it's never the same. You are trying to communicate, but you are not getting what you need out of it. Seek out people for face-to-face communication.

Besides the troll comment, youtube is good for many things like learning something new. There are free college courses on youtube. Maybe if you do that, you will grow up mentally, but physically growing up takes time. Every year you gain one year, until one day you gain so many and hate the growing up process.

It's just a phase. When someone becomes interested in certain subjects they tend to become obsessed with YouTube for a period of time. I myself have found it entertaining screwing with people in the comments section that deserve to be screwed with. If it goes on for longer then a month or so then you should be worried.

Try to get another hobby like crafts. Read the newspaper every morning (only the headlines you are interested in). Go outside your house. Go around everywhere. Start getting in your environment. Increase your work time. Make your own schedule and stick to it. Go for a jog. Play with your pet (if you have one).

I'll keep this short... Assuming that you're serious and not just trolling here... Nobody can make you stop except YOU. You know what you're doing and if you really want to stop, you need to exercise some self-discipline and stop yourself, and you need to do it for your own reasons.

Pretend your comment is someone else's that they put on your video. Pretend every troll you see is your worst enemy and you HAVE to correct them on what they have done wrong. Something else other than getting rid of trolls is working on my grammar skills, punctuation skills, and giving long, detailed answers to give me something else to do.
