How addicted are you to your phone? (kbin.social)

I use mine during work hours, right before bed, and toilet time. After that I sometimes forget where it is. I don't take it with me into places like movies, restaurants, ball games, etc

If I were to lose it today I'd consider getting a replacement in a few days - maybe a week. I do text wife and friends but I'm at the point where if my phone beeps I'll get to it whenever.

I am Gen X if that plays into it.

While I do have it with me at all times and use it regularly, I am always able to put it down and focus on whatever else is happening. It is used to fill in the boring parts of the day, and sometimes I just don't use it for a day or two even if it is with me.

I do get nervous when it is away from me, but that is because it seems like I am most needed when I can't be reached.

Also gen X and still remember when I missed out on stuff as a kid because I wasn't around a land line.
