What is “Phubbing”?

Have you ever talked to someone who looked at their phone right in the middle of the conversation? There is a word for this: “Phubbing” (a combination of phone and snubbing). It signals to the other person: the screen is more important than you. Phubbing damages trust and intimacy in partnerships and friendships. Next time you meet up, consciously leave your phone in your pocket. Real life first!
