Hello fellow Instagram-addicts! I thank you for taking the time to step away from your beloved Instagram feed to take a look at my article. I have listed 20 of the most telling signs that you have an Instagram addiction.

1. Instagram is the first app you check upon waking up and the last app you check before going to sleep.
2. Choosing a photo to Instagram takes you at least two hours.
3. As soon as you post to Instagram you immediately text your best friends to go like it....and if they don't, you must question your friendship.
4. You plan out your Instagram before you do certain activities.
5. The “following” page (where you can see what other people like) has taught you some very insightful things about your followers.
6. You are a loyal liker to almost every one of your followers even if you haven’t talked to them in years.
7. You don’t actually use Instagram filters (shout out to Vsco and Afterlight).
8. Your 13-year-old cousin has more followers than you and it has taken you a long time to come to terms with this.
9. You cannot have a black and white photo next to another black and white photo on your feed.
10. You have shamefully taken a fake candid photo just so it would look cute on your gram.
11. You post photos at certain times in order to get more likes.
12. You have a finsta (fake instagram).
13. You ask at least three people if the filter is okay before you Instagram the photo.
14. You check your feed every 10 minutes.
15. There is an instant rush of adrenaline after you post an Instagram and the likes start rolling in.
16. You must have a good following to follower ratio.
17. If you don’t get 11 likes in 3 minutes, the photo has to be deleted.
18. All of your fake accounts must like your real account’s photos.
19. You expect a certain number of likes on every photo you post, and are disappointed when you do not achieve that goal.
20. The picture has to not only be good quality, but it also has to add to your overall Instagram look.
