Most of us cannot imagine a life without our phones. And that is becoming increasingly alarming. Simply because using the phone as much as we do is unhealthy. If you are constantly on WhatsApp and check your Facebook more than 5 times a day, you’re in a world of trouble. And you don’t even know it yet. In any case, this is what you should aspire to be. Ideally. Read on as we take you through the characteristics of someone who’s not obsessed with their phone.
This article is only for those people, one in a million, who have a life beyond their smartphones.
1. You are not obsessed with clicking selfies.
Or pictures of your food, cats, dogs, trees, rats or anything at all.
2. You are not aware of all the functions of your phone.
You have to ask for help, every bloody time. How do you turn on the front camera? Oh, wait! Is there a front camera on my phone?
3. You don’t keep checking your phone every 5 minutes.
4. You have no idea where your phone is when you’re behind the wheel.
5. You have a life. An actual life. Not a virtual one.
6. You don’t like the idea of online shopping, online dating, or online anything.
7. You don’t know what Facebook is.
You have an account because you need it sometimes, but the idea of checking for updates every minute is not your thing. And you don’t have an account on Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.
8. The concept of ‘emotional attachment’ with a phone is alien to you.
People who cry over the phone are weird for you. You judge them. You constantly keep asking people what exactly makes them so crazy about their phones. It’s something you cannot relate to at all.
9. Smartphone Detox – what the hell is that?
LOL. Why would anyone need to detox from a smartphone.
10. You call people when you want to talk to them
Texting, tweeting, and chatting are not your cup of tea. And what do you do with your phone if not call people? People who use their phones for everything but calling are annoying to you.
11. Your phone has apps, but only the ones you actually need.
What the hell is Snapchat?
As a result, your phone has a good battery life. Pat yourself on the back! This is one of the perks of not going gaga over your phone.
12. At a party, you are the only one who is not fiddling with their phone.
Why do people even come to a party when they want to be on the phone? Such a sad state of affairs.
13. You actually ‘spend’ time with friends and family.
You have meaningful conversations with your friends. You have reunions. You go drinking and shopping. Most of all, you have hobbies, and you do your own thing. Congratulate yourself because you are a rare bread.
14. You don’t have a mini heart attack when you don’t see your phone for a few seconds.
You have an absolutely normal life. Keep at it. You are the blessed one. In fact, it’s a great thing to have a personal life and an offline one at that. It’s healthier for various reasons. If you can step out and help people understand that, nothing like it.
