A number of tells. Here's my shortlist.

  • Missing work, school, or other important obligations. Basically neglecting responsibilities.
  • Preferring online interactions over face-to-face ones. On the phone all the time, even when with people.
  • Anxious, irritable, or depressed when not online
  • Losing track of time while online.
  • Sleep deprived.
  • Not sure how to answer when asked how much they're online

Don't ask how I know...
