Here are some of the personality traits of people who frequently keep their phones on silent:
Introversion
Smartphones, while enhancing convenience, can be overwhelming, particularly for introverts, as the consistent notifications and interactions can negatively impact their mental well-being. Putting their phones on silent gives them the power to control their social interactions.
Strong focus
Focused individuals know how addictive smartphones can be, so they keep their phones on silent and prioritise concentration and commitment over endless screen time because they've figured out that endlessly feeding on internet distractions is a productivity buzzkill.
Mindfulness
Mindful individuals tend to maintain an awareness of their environment and its people, consistently putting in the effort to be fully present and attentive, qualities that are becoming increasingly scarce in our technology-driven world.
Consideration for others
When you're hanging out with a friend, family member, or co-worker and put your phone on silent to give them your full attention, it shows consideration and respect.
Self-sufficiency
It might be that people who keep their phones on silent are already fulfilled and they are not dependent on their phone for fulfilment and satiation.
Calmness
This one goes without saying, keeping your phone on silent could contribute to a lot more calmness overall, resulting in people who keep their phones on silent being more calm in general.
