No, I’m addicted to the apps in my phone. Without them (or internet to use them) I don give a damn about that thing.

Yep, and we’re surrounded by enablers, too. I left my phone at home accidentally when I went out with the fam. “Fuckit, I don’t need a phone. Let’s just go…”

And not only did it become quickly obvious how much I use my phone (NFC payment, looking up store hours, nearest grocery store, etc) but how much everyone expected me to have a phone and everything on it. Use my phone to pay. I don’t have it, I gotta use a card. Give my kid cash for when we drop her off to hang out with friends with apple pay. Can’t do it, no phone. Here’s $15 cash. (Eye roll, carrying change is a burden now) Use loyalty card at the store. Nope, it’s on the phone. Wife has to use hers. Can’t get my daughter’s text messages, and even though she knew I’d left my phone, she still texted me.

People expect you to have all the conveniences on a phone, including the ones that are convenient to them.

I’m addicted to my laptop and basically any social media platform. Block one and I’ll find plenty of others to waste my time on.

No I am not. And I hate drivers who have their heads stuck in their phones causing accidents. Grow up

Input Input Input! I’m addicted to continuous inputs and reactions.
If i can keep my brain running I do not need a phone. I’m happy with a good book for hours.

I’m here aren’t I?

I’m pooping so it doesn’t count. But I can’t poop without it so maybe I am

A phone is just a shittier computer. Please don’t ask about my computer.

Before there were smart phones, I was addicted to a PDA velcroed to a Ricochet modem.

Not even a question

No. I’m addicted to board games with friends. But here I am on my phone again.

Maybe… I depend on it for a bunch of stuff: my calendar, my personal and work email, communication with friends and family, getting my news, taking pictures of fun stuff I’m doing with my kids, reading books, grocery shopping, etc. During a recent power outage, I ended up going to a bookstore for a paper book, since that seemed to be the thing I missed most.

Not really. I like to have it most of the times with me - even at home. I just like to feel its weight in my pocket.

But that doesn’t mean I’m using it always, only if there’s really nothing else, I check the few apps I use then read articles and shit or mess with Termux.

According to Samsung’s weekly reports, I use it less and less each week.

Phone? Nah. It’s only a tool, used for photography, maps/navigation, messaging while on the go, shopping lists and phone calls for that one time a month you need to make one. Maybe other stuff sometimes, like making a bank transfer when not at home or editing OSM.

I used to be indirectly addicted to it. It was actually doomscrolling Reddit, but now that I’m off it I don’t get the urge anymore.

My desktop is a different story, I’m kind of addicted to it while I’m at home; when outside I don’t really miss it.

Screen time says yes.
