I want to add to this: stop expecting people to always be available and online. Stop expecting that just because you texted it is mandatory to reply straight away. Also, stop expecting people to have all different social media apps as if it's the law.
This is why I stopped texting people back straight away. I now see their text if I have my phone handy and text back a few hours later. They are none the wiser and the lack of urgency has given me less stress.
This the reason I dumped Facebook because it was getting so childish. Where people were disclosing everything they did. I have enough living my own life why do I want to live others.
I’ve been on both sides—practicing phubbing and feeling sidelined by it. Now, I always make it a point to sit down with my friends for coffee and deliberately leave my phone aside because our get-togethers are so sacred that we often forget to even take pictures to document them. It’s a refreshing reminder of the irreplaceable value of genuine connection.

This one of my main reasons for taking part in the 35 day program. I know that I alienate my spouse by looking at my phone when I’m with them.
So happy to have you! Message me if you need any thing at all!
