It’s 10pm on a Sunday evening, you’re still in your PJs and your dinner was some Doritos washed down with a can of orange Tango.<\/p>\n

Why? Because you’ve spent the last eight hours bingeing your favourite show on Netflix.<\/p>\n

The streaming service has become a big part of our lives and in extreme cases it’s even led to addiction.<\/p>\n

A 26-year-old man in India has reportedly checked into rehab<\/a> after binge-watching shows and films to shut out reality.<\/p>\n

So what are the signs you might need to delete the red-and-black icon from your life?<\/p>\n

You cancel going to those birthday drinks<\/h2>\n

Your mate’s celebration has been in the diary for ages and you’ve even bought a bottle of wine as a pressie.<\/p>\n

But it gets to 6pm and you’ve found out through the power of Netflix there are Stranger Things lurking outside.<\/p>\n

You fire up the group chat and send that excuse. <\/p>\n

“Ah I’ve got a headache so I don’t think I’ll make it tonight.”<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong> Remind yourself monsters aren’t real, get dressed and step out into the real world. You’ll still get there for last orders.<\/p>\n

The ‘sorry’ message brings out sweats<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

You log in, ready to catch up on the latest episode of Suits and the dreaded error message occurs. <\/p>\n

“Sorry, too many people are using your account right now.”<\/p>\n

Yep, you, your cousin, your partner, your neighbour and your dog are all doing the same thing.<\/p>\n

The questions start whirring in your head.<\/p>\n

“Which family member can you kick off first?”, “Is this worth breaking-up over?” and “Who has the ultimate power to change the password?”<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong> A spreadsheet of names setting out specific time slots for each family member. Or just pay for your own account.<\/p>\n

You treat Netflix’s Twitter accounts like your mates<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

You’ve finally logged out of your Netflix account and start scrolling through your Twitter feed.<\/p>\n

“Too funny,” you say as you check out some of the memes and sass on your timeline about your favourite shows.<\/p>\n

You start retweeting and replying. But hang on… you’re chatting to Netflix.<\/p>\n

With its endless witty tweets, it’s hard to escape the stream of show reminders from Netflix’s various accounts.<\/p>\n

So instead, you start believing the streaming service knows you better than your bestie.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong> Log off, pick up your phone, dial a friend’s number and actually chat.<\/p>\n

The break-up<\/h2>\n

Your heart hurts, you struggle to sleep and you wonder just how you’re gonna move on with your life.<\/p>\n

No, your other half hasn’t just dumped you. It’s the feeling you get when you’ve watched the final episode of a Netflix drama.<\/p>\n

The streaming service is known for giving you the chance to binge-watch an entire series.<\/p>\n

But things always have to come to an end and the heartbreak is real.<\/p>\n

But like with any break-up there’s the chance you’ll get back together in a year’s time (when the new season starts).<\/p>\n

Or there’s always your next crush. Ten seasons of Friends, anyone? <\/p>\n

Solution: <\/strong>Delete Netflix, download Tinder.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
