No no, it’s just that I dont want to use ANY instant messaging app on my phone. Yes, one part of me is craving for multiprotocol messaging apps (Pidgin, Miranda etc.) and use them only on my computer, not phone.
I’ve already had success with turning off all notifications except calls.

No idea, but it’s I’d think so they’re one of the reasons.
As for me, I’m trying to use smartphone much less nowadays. However, I find it difficult because I see that people expect me to respond to their messages asap. Moreover, in my bubble there are more and more people using chat apps and less and less people calling and answering calls and/or willing to meet, not even speaking about initiating meetings. It’s just difficult not to use messagins apps + for me personally it’s sad to have to use it, because I feel alone without presence of a human being.

Results
From 2013 to 2023, a total of 4,507,061 responses were included in the analysis. Apart from analyses focusing on strata of age, all estimates of cognitive disability were age-adjusted. Most respondents were aged 18–39 years (36.8%), identified as non-Hispanic White (60.9%), and had completed at least a high school education (87.3%). The age-adjusted self-reported cognitive disability prevalence in the United States rose from 5.3% (95% CI 5.1%–5.4%) in 2013 to 7.4% (95% CI 7.2%–7.6%) in 2023, with statistically significant increases beginning in 2016. The prevalence of cognitive disability among younger adults aged 18–39 years nearly doubled, increasing from 5.1% (95% CI 4.8%–5.3%) to 9.7% (95% CI 9.2%–10.2%), making this age group the primary driver of the overall rise in cognitive disability in the United States.
Discussion
The disproportionate growth in cognitive disability among younger adults seems to be the primary driver of the overall national trend. These findings warrant further investigation, given their potential long-term implications for population health, workforce productivity, and health care systems.
