I tend to read books on mine in such situations. I can sit alone in the woods quietly without any issues, but reading something I brought seems preferable to flipping through the magazine stacks or staring a gray wall.

Reading books is somewhat different than scrolling through endless feeds and numbing yourself, though.
I also prefer to read books in these situations, or face with the thing which makes me uncomfortable. I don't like to have a puddle of thoughts which fester and attack at the most inconvenient times, making my life harder than it should be.

Just because you prefer one thing over another doesn't mean the other is bad.
Not everyone is scrolling through endless feeds, either - I'm more likely to play a game. There are more than two things you can do with a phone.
