i also don't like phones haha but in a negative way it affected me is that in my younger years it made me stop talking, i was always outgoing and friends with everyone, always talking. when i got to middle school it got worse and some kids,sub teacher said stuff about it that, teacher one was kinda bad. dont really remember those years, other kids in my class told me about what happened. anyways by that stuff i became quiet and closed up. in a positive way, it made me who i am today, caring, loving,a thinker, and others, and i love how i am edit: OH! also harder to talk to girls, know some think its cute and all but get anxiety and talk myself out in talking to them. i have a hard time saying my name
