I’ll be with someone and seems like we’re both enjoying each others’ company, then their phone will ring, or they’ll want to share some photos on their phone and they’ll scroll and scroll and scroll, or refer to something on their phone from our discussion and spend too long looking stuff up, and suddenly I feel alone. Disconnected. Ignored. Others never experience that with me as I don’t have a smart phone, rarely even carry my $10 Tracfone.
