An eighth psychological complaint of bloggers and social media addicts

Spent too much brain power thinking of something witty to add to the Seven Psychological Complaints of Bloggers and Social Media Addicts (which I thoroughly enjoyed).

Then had the ironic realisation that I was suffering from the eighth : Wit Anxiety Gloom Syndrome (WAGS). The sufferer feels what they have to add to the world is so humourous it must be shared – but only after every one of the 140 characters has been considered in depth. Stems from a deep-rooted phobia of “comment shame”.

Usually cured by remembering there are other things that need doing – like life.

Patient may require regular doses of reminding – otherwise known as nagging.

    That, along with another suggested addition (Meme Orphanism) and one of my own (Community Displacement Attack) will take it nicely to ten! Thanks!

    Bloggers are not the only sufferers. Anyone who’s had to fill in a leaving/get well card at the office is also victim to this.

    I remember a *fantastic* Smith and Jones sketch, which started out with the two of them being handed such a card. And gradually, they called in more and more comedians to try and find the perfect witty comment.
