They feel like they need to be constantly connected. That’s why they spend most of their time staring at their phones instead of doing anything else. Some people even sleep with their phones next to them.
With a flip phone, you’re refreshingly old-fashioned. You’re bucking expectations. People are jealous because you still use a flip phone.
