“people look at their phones 2 much in public places!” 

• u have no idea what that person is looking at it may very well be their dissertation, the last letter they got from their grandma, or a book that’s too big to carry. who care that they wanna look at insta more than at u
  
• people used to be bored/self-isolating in public w/newspapers + books don’t act like we were all chatty + friendly before the internet
• ppl w/anxiety find it comforting and this generation has the highest rate of anxiety on record
• on that note, phones are transitional objects, which means that they function as a comfort device (a piece of “home” in an unfamiliar place)
• go touch a soft animal and calm down
