Phubbing is a form of neglect that occurs when you are distracted by your phone instead of engaging in conversation.
What is phone addiction
Nomophobia, or No mobile phone phobia, is the fear of being without a phone.
A person with such fear becomes nervous or anxious if he does not hold the gadget in his hand for a long time.
Reasons for phubbing
According to research from the University of Kent, phubbing stems from a number of other bad habits and psychological problems.
Internet addiction, fear of missing out (FoMO) and difficulties with self-control lead to smartphone addiction, which in turn leads to phubbing.
The harm of phubbing
A new study published in the journal BMC Psychology shows that people who experience perceived phubbing are more likely to experience loneliness or psychological distress, which can also make them feel less satisfied with their lives.
