No,they’re serious, and I’m afraid I suffer from the affliction.

If I leave my house for an important meeting and I’ve forgotten my phone, I turn around and go get it. I’d rather be late than disconnected.

And my therapist wonders why I can’t get any sleep.

  • when my phone battery drops below 15% I start to panic – but at least there are chargers you can buy just about anywhere nowadays. Accidentally forget my phone at home though?… I don’t understand…how would this happen? I don’t understand this hypothetical situation.

  • OMG.. wow…i suffer probably for the same thing… if im late for work i turn around and get my phone… and when i see my phone close to dying i really freak out.. its like i get worried or something…. thats why now i always take my charger to work.. and school.. and even if im not talking on the phone.. i feel the need to have my phone wit me all the time… at least in my pocket…
