IN BLANKSTARE NEWS: Do you constantly look at your phone,

Do you know someone who is constantly looking at their phone, even when they are around other people? Is that person you? Phubbing (ignoring the people you’re with in favor of your phone) is not only rude, but according to a study from the University of Georgia, phubbers are more likely to have mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Another finding? We may be annoyed by the behavior, but it’s so prevalent now that we’re becoming more accepting of it.
