There’s a term for looking at your phone in social situations instead of talking to people. It’s called “phubbing.” It’s a combination of the words “phone” and “snubbing.”
As far as we can tell, the word “phubbing” has only been in the pop culture lexicon for like two days . . . and it’s ALREADY trying to steal yo girl.
According to a brand new study from Baylor University in Texas, it’s killing relationships.
The researchers say, quote, “We discovered that when someone perceived that their partner phubbed them, this created conflict and led to lower levels of reported relationship satisfaction . . . and higher levels of depression.”
And a LOT of people are phubbing victims. 46% of people say they’re in a relationship with someone who regularly phubs them. And 22% say it’s caused fights in their relationship.
