Overuse of mobile phones may be associated with negative outcomes on mental and physical
health, in addition to having an impact on how users interact socially.[24][25]
Social
Some people are replacing face-to-face conversations with cybernetic ones. Clinical
psychologist Lisa Merlo says, "Some patients pretend to talk on the phone or fiddle with apps
to avoid eye contact or other interactions at a party."[26] Furthermore,
70% check their phones in the morning within an hour of getting up.
56% check their phones before going to bed.
48% check their phones over the weekend.
51% constantly check their phones during vacation.
44% reported they would feel very anxious and irritable if they did not interact with their
phones within a week.
There are various behaviors and feelings that are worth noting in this
regard-
An incessant needs to tap and touch the phone and the apps periodically,
Strong feelings of envy generated by social media posts of other people and
still the constant need to check them,
Regular unhealthy comparison and competition with others online lives and
posts,
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in case one has not seen all updates and posts.
The constant checking becomes important to ‘feel connected’.
