Be honest.
You just checked your phone again — even though no one’s called you all day.
You refresh WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok…
Then you lock your phone.
5 seconds later:
You unlock it again.
For what? Nobody knows.
Maybe an angel dropped a message this time. 😭
Let’s Be Real:
We all act like there’s a life-changing notification waiting to pop up at any second.
Even if your phone is dry, something deep inside says:
> “Check again. What if you just got verified?”
“Maybe your crush finally replied.”
“You never know. You could be going viral right now.”
“Your destiny might be in your DMs.”
Spoiler: it’s just a “Win an iPhone” spam comment.
The Phone Scroll Routine (aka The Ritual)
1. Unlock phone.
2. Check all apps.
3. Get disappointed.
4. Lock phone.
5. Sit still.
6. Repeat 5 minutes later.
It’s not just habit.
It’s muscle memory at this point 😭
Why We Do It:
Truth is, checking our phones isn’t always about boredom.
Sometimes, it’s:
Escapism
Anxiety relief
Dopamine hunting
Or just pretending we’re busy so we don’t have to make eye contact with humans 😭
It’s our digital comfort zone — even when there’s nothing there.
But Let’s Not Lie:
Every now and then, one notification hits different.
That “Someone liked your post”
That “Your order has been shipped”
That “You’ve been followed by a blue check account”
...now THAT’S the dopamine boost we live for.
Let’s Talk:
How many times do you check your phone a day (no judgment 😅)?
What’s the one app you open first — without even thinking?
Be honest: have you ever unlocked your phone, forgotten why, then locked it again immediately? 😂
Let’s laugh through our addiction together.
