Are you addicted to your cell phone? Yes, I am addicted to my cell phone, from the apps and games to just texting someone, I am on my phone a lot more than I should be. I am on my phone a lot more during certain circumstances such as being in the car or stuck inside due to bad weather. It is because of one general things, that is boredom. I get bored easily and playing games or having someone to talk to helps that because I feel like I am doing something productive, even though I know I am not.
