My phone stays in my bag, unless it is ringing. If I need to call someone or text (which is usually only for work), I excuse myself. Honestly, I would have to start searching the web or go on TE, to be holding my phone in my hand all of the time and looking at it. My friends also do not feel the need to be in contact all of the time, like this. I have one friend, who is kind of, well, not entirely OK both emotionally and cognitively. She started texting me all of the time a couple of years ago, when I never even turned on my cell phone. I was getting charged for all of these texts, so I had to tell her to stop. She also posts really dumb stuff on Facebook (like the fact she's away on vacation) and brags about her college aged son. She likes/makes a comment about anything I put on there, which is usually only things about my rides or other outdoor stuff, and she has no knowledge of any of these things. Then, she will call what I do "cute" or "sweet," which to me is what you say about a little kid. It really annoys me, to the point that I don't hardly put anything on FB.
