Signs You’re Addicted To Your Smartphone

image

1. You get slightly panicky when your phone is
out of your line of sight.
2. …And ridiculously panicked when you
accidentally leave it AT HOME.
It’s like you’re missing a limb.
3. You sleep with your phone on your
nightstand, or worse, IN your bed next to you.
4. Your friends tried to make you do this
game, but you freaked out and grabbed your
phone even though you had to buy a round of
drinks.
I mean, LOOK! That one’s lighting up! That
could be a message for me!

5. You justify being on your phone all the time
because you “might miss a work email.”
6. A cracked screen would never stand in
YOUR way.
7. You prune and manage your apps like it’s
the White House lawn.
8. You maintain three to five text threads/
Snapchat chains going throughout most days.
9. At least once a week you freak out that you
can’t find your phone, and then realize it’s in
your hand.
10. Turning your phone off during a flight
gives you horrendous FOMO.
11. …but also makes you excited, because you
know when you turn it on, you’ll have tons of
notifications to go through.
12. You insist that you can do two things at
once — text AND walk, text AND listen! — but
we all know that you cannot.
13. Seriously! Everyone can see you failing at
this.
14. Sometimes you see an Instagram go up
right away, but you wait 30 minutes to like it
because you don’t want to seem lame.
15. You talk to it even when you know it
would be easier to type your question into
Google.
16. The only time you turn your phone off is
on an airplane.
Other than that, it just goes on silent.
17. You try not to do this at concerts, but you
do it anyway.
19. You feel kind of dejected when you sneak a
peek at your phone after a long dinner or
meeting and you have no new notifications.
20. The idea of having to leave your phone in
the store for repairs makes you ill.
21. You don’t mind getting to the bar before
the friend you’re meeting, because you’re
justified in losing yourself in your phone until
they get there.
22. You constantly catch yourself trying to
open apps you’re already in.
