Feel our cell phone pain, India

Sometimes you think you hear your mobile phone ringing, but on checking it you release that you were just imagining it. Well, here is some assurance that you are NOT turning insane. A study conducted in the US has reported that this phenomenon is known as ‘ringxiety’.

It’s just so funny. They say that 67 percent of people suffer from this. From our experience, it’s 100 percent of cell phone users. Survey and scientific results aside, it’s part psychological, part physical. Yes, the anticipation of your phone ringing is causing you to think it’s ringing. The physical part is that the muscles near your phone actually twitch at some points, which cause many to think their phone is ringing. The way we combat it: We keep reminding ourselves that our phone vibrates much more violently than the muscle twitches we’re feeling. Yeah, we often check our pockets during these minor twitches, but it’s getting better. It’s nice to know that this goes on in other parts of the world, and that people are just as amused at the phenomenon as we were when we first started using a cell phone. [Tech Scout]]]>
