7 Signs Your Addicted To Your Phone

Phubbing is real and it's affecting all of our lives including mine. A third of people in relationships have been "phubbed" before. That's when the other person ignores you or doesn't hear you, because they're so focused on their phone. Put your phone down, here are 7 alarming ways to figure out if you have an obsession with your cell phone.
