A number of tells. Here's my shortlist.

Missing work, school, or other important obligations. Basically neglecting responsibilities.
Preferring online interactions over face-to-face ones. On the phone all the time, even when with people.
Anxious, irritable, or depressed when not online
Losing track of time while online.
Sleep deprived.
Not sure how to answer when asked how much they're online

Don't ask how I know...
