I hate using the mobile while my sister is an addict and is always is on her mobile. When I see my mobile, it reminds of how LONELY I am. I do not want to use it but my mom won't allow me not to. What do I do?

I am just curious my friend, if you don't mind. Why would your mobile phone reminds you of how lonely you are?

I just do not seem to get the RIGHT kind of calls and messages if you know what I mean. It is always a friend sending a joke or contacting to ask something about college. I do not get to chat and all a lot.

Maybe all your friends are constantly meeting you in person, so they think chatting through it is already an expense for them, since doing so would of course consume their load. Just like me, i only use my cell phone for important messages, but not for chatting because i know it would be really an added expense on my part if i am the one who will call on them.

My friend, nowadays mobile has many use.not only to call, to send sms..there are phone having an internet, a map, compass, music. Life is modern now and you can use mobile as to where it will benefit your life... If you are annoy to the fact that no one calls you better use it in a different way... (*._.")

It doesn't really sound that bad... Not getting a phone call from people isn't all that bad of a thing... Aside from work & my girlfriend, I don't get that many calls either... And I like it that way... Phone can be a very annoying... I remember somebody always calling me at the wrong time, either I'm in a meeting or with my girlfriend & my daughter... I usually end up turning my phone off... If you have a lot of free time on your hand, try doing something for yourself... Going to the gym, going out to movies & stuff that you like doing... Doesn't always have to involve phone calls or friends...

Learn using the phone. Communication is essential when you grow up and not practicing is going to be detrimental to your ability to speak. It is boring at first but that's something to face in the pursuit to be a communication expert. Just use the phone even once in a while.

Your mother wants you to use your mobile phone? Why are you reminded of being lonely from just seeing your mobile? I'm curious. You don't have to force yourself to use a mobile, people from the past have lived their lives well even without the use of such a contraption. You can still bring the cell phone, because you might need it anytime like during emergencies. I don't like people who are too addicted to their phones. because when i talk to them, they don't pay attention because they are texting. It's rather disrespectful to the person you are talking to. Calls are okay when they have purpose. but when you are with your friends and you keep calling someone on the phone just to say hi, it's weird and unnecessary.

Just carry it along, use it only if she calls or something like that The rest of the time you can just forget about it and you won't need the sad reminder then anymore too. I wish there was better advise but that is all I have for you unless you opt. for a pager for Mom's sake instead of the phone. I never liked either one, I find them too invasive of everyday life. I really hate text messages on these phones so much. This takes so much skill and practice and distracting too dangerous. Why not just use your portable ipad or pc? Thanks,A.B.

i sometimes feel that i am too lonely too because it would be like a day or so without having someone to contact me (friends and love ones). I only get sms messages from my network asking me to avail new stuffs... and also sometimes people from work... =( well i would want my phone busy but with people who i want to talk to.. =(

You don't need to use your mobile phone even if you have it in your possession. Just hang on to it 'cause you never know when there's an emergency and you need your phone to call. If seeing it reminds you how lonely you are, then put it somewhere where you can't see it, like a small pouch or bag or something just as long as you can easily get to it in times of emergencies.

I also don't like to use Cell phones. but sometimes it is very necessary for us. Its a useful thing, but its not good to use in the life. Its effects us. I have a mobile phone. I am using it for call once and hearing musics..

Most of our preferences change when we reach at the age of 20+. When I was in my grade school & high school days, I love using my phone. But when I reach in college, I don't like to call & message someone which is not so important at all. I have 3 close friends but we don't call & text everyday, I only contact them when we have some important stuff to do, and when there some special occasions like birthday, Christmas & new year. But nothing change, we're still friends and I don't feel any loneliness when I don't receive special call & messages.
