I get them. I don't always answer.
I tend not to get along well with the kind of people who think I have to drop everything to respond to them, so it's fine.
We are all in our 50s so who gives a fuck, but also is he dead?
I get notifications, but generally don't read them until I'm taking a break, maybe 4 times a day. No one has complained. If they did, I'd tell them to call me if it's an emergency. I'm guessing about half would never make a phone call if they could help it, so it's a good bluff. Also I don't mind receiving phone calls.
It's my self selection filter for friends
I’m addicted. Constantly checking it, looking at it to pass time when doing something else is considered rude.
I couldn't give a shit about my phone 90%o of the time. No social media. No time wasting apps. No bullshit.
My phone is on mute all the time, people message me, or call, and I get back to them when I see it. Don't like it? Move on.
I don’t know because I haven’t checked my phone.
You reminded me i had forgotten to respond to a question, thank you.
