https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactance_(psychology)

In psychology, reactance is an unpleasant motivational reaction to offers, persons, rules, regulations, advice, recommendations, information, nudges, and messages that are perceived to threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. Reactance occurs when an individual feels that an agent is attempting to limit one's choice of response and/or range of alternatives.

You should go doomscroll on social media and watch as the hours melt away in your day only to look at the time and wonder what you could've done instead in the hours spent that you'll never get back due to the inevitable forward march of time closer and closer to the end
