This is a brilliant term! First time I've heard of it. Phubbing is such a problem these days! I regularly have to ask friends and family members to put their phones away while I'm talking to them. We're all so attached to our phones!

I used to struggle with this myself honestly, but I now ensure to keep my phone on silent when I'm spending time with someone. Sometimes I even leave my phone at home while out because I really want a screen break and to focus on the person I'm going to meet.

Great piece, Charles! We all need to be more aware of how we're treating people. Thank you for sharing!
