Check out the following signs of cell phone addiction. Does it sound familiar to you?
Sign 1: Excessive mental and emotional obsession
You can quickly find yourself through WhatsApp, Facebook and co. Are you distracted and then no longer concentrate on your actual work?
Sign 2: Withdrawal symptoms
Leaving a cell phone at home or an empty battery – that makes most cell phone owners nervous. But if there are physical effects such as restlessness, nervousness, sweating when you cannot use your cell phone, this is a clear alarm signal.
Sign 3: Increase in frequency
In the past, you only grabbed your cell phone every now and then to see what’s new; today you always have the urge to check to be up to date? If you feel dissatisfied not to give in to this urge, that too is a sign of addiction.
Sign 4: Unsuccessful restriction attempts
Do you actually know that you spend too much time on your cell phone? And actually YOU have wanted to change that for a long time, but you can’t? Then this is also a possible indication of a cell phone addiction.
Sign 5: Little interest in other activities
If the way you spend your free time changes because of the cell phone, that should also be a warning. Do you hang out with friends less because you prefer to sit on the couch with your mobile phone and click your way through the internet? Or do you no longer pursue a hobby regularly because it is more tempting for you to chat on your smartphone? Do you neglect real face-to-face conversations and prefer the digital version?
Sign 6: Excessive use despite negative consequences
You realize that busy yourself with your cell phone too much has physical effects – and still you can’t put it to one side. For example, YOU surf the net until late in the evening, even though you are completely overtired and would normally go to bed.
Sign 7: Deceiving others
Because you yourself notice that you spend too much time on your cell phone: Are you trying to hide it from others, for example from your partner? Nobody should know how much you are on the phone,
Sign 8: Escaping negative moods
When problems torment you or bad thoughts keep you on your toes, do you use your cell phone to escape from them?
Sign 9: Risk to professional or private life
Has your mobile phone use over a long period of time meant that you had serious problems with your partner, your family, your friends or employees? This is also a signal of addiction
