We live in the age of immediacy due to technological advances. We are used to placing an order online and receiving it at the door in just 24 hours, seeing in almost real time where our friends and the celebrities we admire are doing through social networks and having conversations by messaging with answers. almost instantly.
But the latter is not always so. While there are people who reply to a message as soon as they receive it, others take their time. Either because they are not so aware of the mobile, because they take their time to think of an answer, because of a mistake or because they are busy. Other times, unfortunately, they do not respond because they do not want to, something that is called ‘ghosting’, which could be translated as ghosting, since they disappear without giving explanations.
At a time when mobile phones and social networks are the star of our daily lives, many people feel anxiety when they do not receive immediate responses to their messages or even never receive them, leaving them in a feared and cold ‘seen’. This is closely related to mobile addiction syndromes, such as nomophobia (the fear of being without your smartphone) or textaphrenia (the false feeling of having received a message).
There are a number of signs that can make you suspect that you have a dependency problem with your mobile phone and feel nervous or anxious about the lack of response to your messages. One of them is precisely that you respond immediately every time you receive a message or consult notifications very quickly.
Also if, after sending a message, you wait connected to get a response, even going so far as to procrastinate from other obligations or activities of your day to day. In this regard, another indication is to constantly check your mobile to see if they answer you and feel upset, sadness, depression, nerves, frustration, uncertainty or anger when you do not receive an answer.
