Self control is a weird thing, depending on the addiction. Self control can spawn from simply being self aware of how a thing affects you.

I'm willing to bet it's not immediately obvious how scrolling through social media makes a person feel, unless they have experience with it (something psychologists teach to help their patients deal with situations.)

So, if it's something that can be taught, does it affect how responsible someone is with their social media usage?

Is their environment equipt to impart such information? Are they equipt to learn? Do they just enjoy it anyway?
