I would love to toss my phone into the trash and am trying to find a way to cut it out of my life, but many people can't let go of the phone at any cost. According to a recent study, 77% of young adults between the ages of 18-24 consider themselves nomophobes. And at 64%, people ages 24-34 don't fare much better.

You experience anxiety over the possibility of losing your phone
