- It’s the first thing you check in the morning, and the last thing you check at night.

- You’ve been known to easily spend 15 minutes trying to choose the perfect filter. #thestruggleisreal
- There’s nothing more stressful than that nail-biting moment when you’re waiting for your photo to get its first ‘like’.
- You check the app at least every ten minutes throughout the day just in case you’ve gained more followers from your latest photo.
- You’ve even gone back and deleted a photo because it didn’t get enough ‘likes’ – you don’t want to put off potential followers!
- Eating a meal without photographing it for Instagram first is unheard of – and sometimes it takes so much time to get the perfect snap that your food ends up going cold.
- Whether it’s standing on your chair at a restaurant or lying down on the ground, you’ll go to any lengths for the ideal square crop shot. #DoItForTheGram
- You have accidentally liked a photo. On your ex’s feed. From over 30 weeks ago.
- You stockpile images for days when you’re not doing anything – your followers don’t need to know that instead of being out at a glamorous brunch you’re actually sat in your pyjamas bingeing on Netflix shows.
- You get irrationally excited once your photo gets over 9 ‘likes’ and you enter the world of double digits.
- Before your photos even reach Instagram, they go through a series of different filtering apps.
- Your friends and family have been known to complain about the amount of selfies you’re taking.
- You plan your #WCW and #TBT posts with military precision.
