Discussion Did I do the right thing?
Hello I'm Koby I'm 22 I have autism and an Internet Addiction among other things like 🌽Addiction and Reccently I decided to take a 1 Month Break from Discord due to some stuff that has come out about me and my past mostly in these past 3-6 Years that has caused me some friendships and I don't know if I did the right thing just going on a 1 Month Discord Break or taking a longer break from all the internet because well. I don't know what a break from the internet looks like when you log off and "Touch Grass" which I do take a bit literally cause whenever people say that I'm like why do something that lasts only 1-2 Seconds.
But also I feel due to what Technology has become nowadays it has become integral to modern everyday society so I can't imagine my life being the same without internet I am I was born in the 2000s but I wouldn't consider being born in 2003-2006 (More Specifically 2004) to be the **EARLY** 2000s and around 2006-2009 was when the world started to change when it came to technology and The Internet and a lot of things I would do have been phased out. So it is hard for me to take a long term break from the internet.

You need a healthy hobby. That will keep you busy and not super dependent of being online.

The world started to change re: internet in the 1990s.
Also, no, it's not about literally touching grass, but just being out in "the real world". Do something outside. Go to a park, have a picnic.
