If I am with a person ,that means I want to connect in real time,otherwise why am I even there ? I am there for real conversations .I put my cell phone in my bag and forget about it.I check once in a while if my stay with people is longer.I can text a short reply to missed calls while in restroom. I return my calls after I get home.I never understood the concept of texting while with people.I have seen such ones,and I almost bite my tongue from saying...Guys just go home.When I am in a group and when I see a couple of toxic people who are ready to pounce on me,I take out my phone and pretend to text someone,just to avoid those people.So if others are doing the same to me,I get the point that they are not interested in me .
