Is it normal to be addicted to...

So I moved to California from Pennsylvania to be with my boyfriend and I'm on my phone a lot cuz I miss my friends and family. I'm always texting or on Facebook, and he gets annoyed. If we are out on a date or something I try not to be on my phone and be considerate but he complains about it a lot. So in this situation...is it normal to be addicted to texting and Facebook?

    People do this even when their family lives in the same town. At least you can almost justify it. But it is still annoying.

    Your an inconsiderate person. Dont worry there are lots of people like you.

    My friend does this and it's so fucking annoying and inconsiderate. It makes me feel like I'm boring her and she needs to find entertainment elsewhere.
    People need to chill out with their phones when they are around other people. Facebook and texting can wait.

    its normal but it deffinately isnt right. recreational technology is a trap and a worse drug than most illicit narcotics. It causes laziness, fucks up your eye sight, ruins your concentration and fucks up your social skills and increases levels of social anxiety. Im in teh same position when it comes to my pc, but i just threw out my phone so now i dnt ahve to worry about texting. I wish i could do the same for my pc but i need it for work

    Thanks for the input...I don't think in being inconsiderate but yeah..I'm a very social person and my boyfriend likes to sit home and play video games all the time, so this is kinda how I interact with the people I love and miss.

    Unfortunately, this is normal when it really should not be.

    The majority of people do this... Its like everyone is addicted to technology & social networking. So much so, that they would rather talk to their "friends" this way, instead of the person RIGHT in front of their face. PUT IT DOWN!!!
