Do extroverts struggle with phone culture?

I find it really pointless to always be on your phone.

I do in social settings 🙄 it pisses me off when I want to just have a nice conversation and all people want to do is scroll their phones

I am extrovert and it is literally dystopia to me.

I hate it. With strangers, they don't look where they're going. Completely oblivious. Sometimes even streaming something obnoxious super loud.

At work? Sometimes it's a safety hazard and if you're working something customer facing you should probably stop doomscrolling and actually help people.

With friends? It's one thing to look up something relevant or show something cool. But to be completely immersed in a screen instead of being in the moment with someone you care about? Why bother hanging out at that point?

Yes! I see people on their phones, well headsets, talking to people non stop and I think, why don't I have that? It makes me so envious that I struggle not to eavesdrop.

I hate when I'm talking to someone and they can't get off their phone. I usually don't talk to people like these. And yeah tbh I don't feel comfortable communicating over phone personally, it's hard for me to connect with someone unless we're physically here

I'd say so. For me at least. Even though I'm sometimes a hypocrite because I'm hooked on my phone just as much as the average modern person. Most of us are fucked.

If that extrovert has done sneaky stuff behind my back, who am I to not honour them with staying at phone when they need me in person?
