ABSTRACT
“Internet” is one of the most critical things in today’s world, much to the point that most people who have a cell phone or other technological gadget with internet can’t imagine life without it. The Internet has aided the world’s growth at a much quicker pace, but how people use it differs from person to person. Excessive internet usage has been observed, which has negative consequences, which is why we conducted this research to better understand the relationship between Internet Addiction and Trait Anxiety and Depression. On 144 people aged 20 to 30, three tests were used: STAI, Becks depression test, and Internet Addiction test. People are becoming more social in virtual form but not in person as a result of increased Internet use. People are using the Internet to escape from Trait Anxiety and Depression or vice versa. Many nations have included Internet Addiction as one of their addiction types, and every country will eventually need to take it more seriously.
