I'll let you in on a secret.
You are likely boring in person, so your friends turn to little pocket computer games to entertain themselves instead. Your friends are also rude little kids that lack the ability to control themselves.
Either way you all will grow out of it.
You'll get old and boring, and those computer games turn into little email and skype apps where you constantly have to maintain for the sake of a job because your work life balance is whackadoodle. But for the most part you'll grow out of caring about your little phone because... here's the god honest truth... it's all pretty boring.
Louis CK didn't tap into some new found glory, but at 19 you think he did, not realizing this just yet another repost, an old truth we keep rediscovering... that kids these days are always little tyrants.
Socrates said it. Plato quoted it. Every single generation thereafter grow up and comment about it. Way back it was books of "questionable" morals and alcohol. Back then it was gangsta rap and MTV. Nowadays it's Farmville and iPhones. Next it's going to be fake realities and fake projections.
There is always going to be something made by somebody else to distract you.

It'll be okay.
Take a deep breath.
It'll be okay.
You're on a fast track ticket to being old.
