Yes, but.
When you're traveling you're usually stimulated much more than when sitting at home in a rut, being slightly depressed and unable to decide what to do next. That's when you start missing [your favorite addictive distraction] and give in to the lure of it.
I can spend three weeks on holiday and not even notice that I spend no time on a screen. I might feel repelled, even. Back home after a few days, not so much.

- em500 4y agoTalking about being stuck in a depressing non-stimulating environment: I've done it in a Chinese quarantine hotel for 2 weeks. You really really don't need Youtube / social media / your other "essential" vices as much as you think.
- peepee1982 4y agoI don't think I need them. I'm just more inclined to use them in an well known environment that offers nothing new or interesting to experience without putting in at least some effort. I didn't mean the environment had to be depressing. I meant feeling a bit low.
- drw85 4y agoThis is exactly why those things are dangerous. You get used to them and your brain starts needing the distraction and constant empty entertainment. It's only when you stop using it for a few days/weeks, that you notice how much your brain needs that constant feed of stuff. When you get over that short amount of "withdrawal" and no longer need it as a filler of empty time, you can use that time for more healthy things.
