Phone Defense

To pull out your phone and aimlessly go through contacts, etc., when faced with passing strangers, as to not look like a friendless loser.

Relevant in the narcissistic, shallow age of status and plasticity, where people can't be alone or introverted without an excuse to appeal to socialites.

"I went to this show alone, and in between sets when other people were talking I used my phone defense."
