The diagnosis
1-20 points. «The thing».
You are like Russell Crowe, in A Brilliant Mind, but without a wonderful mind. Either way, weirdos have their charm, so follow this path and be strong. However, be careful not to exclude yourself from this new online interaction via WhatsApp completely.
From 21-50 points. «There is still salvation, however small.»
You can still have salvation, but the possibilities are the same as Luke’s to destroy the Death Star. So, there are two solutions: either you win the lottery and live on a Pacific island without any operator coverage, or WhatsApp declares bankruptcy and disappears.
From 51-75 points. «Road of no return».
You are on the brink, like Thelma and Louise, but without the romantic factor. It’s time to end your addiction and throw your smartphone off a cliff. To start, you can also switch to using Telegram or Line; as you will not use any of them for obvious reasons, you will gradually get used to loneliness.
More than 76 points. «I steal».
You will not understand anything that is written here, as you can only read through emoticons and emojis. Anyway, getting help and human contact is necessary, but there doesn’t seem to be much solution in your case, as you already see life in shades of green.
