Nomophobia: Anyone else terrified of being without their phone?

Logic dictates it should work the other way around—if you have to make a comparison, anyway. In the real world, you're standing there face-to-face with someone, whereas on a call, you're basically invisible.
So what's the alternative then? Are we all supposed to communicate like we're sending telegrams? Just short, clipped bursts and then move on? I've never heard of anyone struggling with this before...
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Every person is wired differently.
That makes sense—I've honestly never looked at it from that angle before.
