4 Signs You're Addicted To Your Cellphone

*Ding* oh a message! So I picked my cellphone to check the notification......nothing. What?! But I just heard the notification bell!
Most of the people face this disorder today and it's probably the most faced disorder around the world. Cellphone addiction is a major problem for all of us and it's symptoms include going through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. again and again. Here are a few things which can tell if you're a cellphone addict.

1. Checking your phone after short intervals :

If you are in a habit of looking at your cellphone after every minute then you're definitely addicted to your cellphone, knowing there's nothing. Yet, still scrolling down the news feed.

2 . Hearing the notification ring all the time :

When you're listening to something for long period of times , there comes a time when even after it stops you can still hear it. It's almost as if your ears are ringing. So, if you've felt like you've heard your cellphone ring and there's no notification or call or text....it means that you've been spending a little too much time with your cellphone.

3 . Responding quickly to every single ring :

One of the signs of addiction to your cellphone is rushing to check your cellphone every time you hear the beep, may it be a useless message from your network provider or a notification from your social networking site.

4 . Staring at the phone screen even when there's nothing important on it :

Another symptom of addiction to your cellphone is aimlessly staring at it even when you're bored. Instead of doing something constructive in your leisure time, your cellphone keeps you chained to it and you end up losing time that could have been spent in a better way.

How to avoid it :

Try to keep your cellphone out of your sight when you're at home or keep it at a distance from where you are sitting. The farther it is from your reach , the more it'll help control your urge to look at it again and again. 

Don't rush to go through every notification immediately. For starters, try giving a 5 minute break every time you hear it ring. 

Last but not the least refrain yourself from spending all your free time on your phone. Roam around or try something new. Try to use your phone as less as you can. Not only does it make you unsocial but it's also very damaging for your health.
