Tbh, same. Phones were made as a tool for humans but it feels like phones are in control of us more than we are in control of them. I used to be a victim of this too, staying in bed all day, just scrolling on my phone. I skipped on more exciting and important things in life, like going out, socialising, working on myself. I have a little advice for people struggling with phone addiction, Get an HMD flip phone, or the barbie HMD flip phone if you like pink (i have it.) It has the internet, calling, messaging, games and whatever. But it doesn't have any apps like instagram, tiktok etc that will keep you glued to your phone. Also, love that it has self care reminders so whenever you open it, a daily self care reminder will pop up! It's really positive, cute and i love the whole vibe. It made me quit my smart phone and actually touch grass (with consent). Yeah, that's all!

i love the penelope garcia pfp! i agree, it’s definitely difficult to beat the addiction. i’m glad that i’ve realised it the struggle now is to try and get rid of it lol!

YESSS PENELOPE GARCIA ENJOYER!!! The dopamine hits are so difficult to replace tho.. i tried to set my screen to monochrome but I ended up turning it off every time I wanted to watch something... I also turned off notifications for most of my apps. Was thinking about switching to a cell phone but my friend made me realize it would probably be just an impulsive purchase and honestly, so true

i’ve been thinking about switching to a flip phone for a while now but i can totally see how it would come across as an impulse buy. i totally agree about the dopamine hits aswell. sucks how addicted we’ve become!

this is so real honestly! i get sick when i see a kid ADDICTED to their phone, or when a 13 year old always checks their phone every five minutes. And ill admit i also have a phone addiction but still
