Like, you just look weird if you sitting by yourself (example: waiting at a bus stop) and just stairing into space, so like its basically social expectation to be on your phone when you are by yourself.

Plus, just feels like if you don’t have a phone on you, you are missing a lot of information (access to the internet, maps, etc.) that you might need in case you get lost or something.

      Or a handheld… Those ones still exist… Thankfully.

      Even nowadays I don’t feel “entertained” when forcing myself to use the smartphone when I am in waiting situation outside…

        I pretty much always have a handheld with me. I have this fear that I’ll randomly get forcibly stuck somewhere for half an hour and will need to bust it out. Usually it’s my R36S, but sometimes it’s a Vita, or a PSP 1000. If I’m feeling especially nostalgic, a modded Gameboy Color.

        They come in super handy at lunch, grocery store lines, and when my kid falls asleep on me.
