  • When i get a notification, i feel the need to look at it immediately. This is especially if it makes noise on my phone or it's a facebook notification or primary email. I don't feel like i need more, i just need to know what it is as soon as possible.

  • I can't relate a lot to it but I remember one time I had 23 notifications during when I joined

    It can be fun to see who posted but then other times I'm like " OK let's see " at times.

  • Absolutely normal, they’re designed to give you a micro-dopamine hit and be addictive. All social media is deliberately designed to keep people on it as much as possible and notifications are a great way of pulling in their attention.

  • I hate notifications. Half the time someone on the internet says something it's something rude and uncalled for. The internet makes people dicks and say things that they would never say to your face.
