We are all in our 50s so who gives a fuck, but also is he dead?

I get them. I don't always answer.

I tend not to get along well with the kind of people who think I have to drop everything to respond to them, so it's fine.

I get notifications, but generally don't read them until I'm taking a break, maybe 4 times a day. No one has complained. If they did, I'd tell them to call me if it's an emergency. I'm guessing about half would never make a phone call if they could help it, so it's a good bluff. Also I don't mind receiving phone calls.

I couldn't give a shit about my phone 90%o of the time. No social media. No time wasting apps. No bullshit.

My phone is on mute all the time, people message me, or call, and I get back to them when I see it. Don't like it? Move on.

I’m addicted. Constantly checking it, looking at it to pass time when doing something else is considered rude.

It's my self selection filter for friends

You reminded me i had forgotten to respond to a question, thank you.

I don’t know because I haven’t checked my phone.
