why do so many of you hate talking on the phone?

[The spy who loves you]

I mean...

it's a fucking phone,what's so hard and scary about talking with someone on it?

[Kingmush]

I dunno... Talking to people is hard for me, especially when I can't see them. Typing someone something is so much easier. <3

I don't know, I've always tried to figure out my aversion to phones. I'm fine with calling people just to confirm something or get a detail or let them know I'm coming or whatever, but conversations on the phone irk me because I think I'd rather see their face and their hands or at least be able to speak through text at my own pace.

IN MY HANDS

but I actually think that makes it more interesting for some reason idk y

The phone is for confirmations and other small questions that need answers, not full-length conversations about Becky's boob-job.

Because I think my voice sounds awful, my parents would always be like "OH WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO IS THAT A GIRL", and I'm just unsocial.

and i can't talk to things that aren't alive, like phones

It was really stormy this morning.

Did you know that you can be electrocuted if you use a landline during a storm?

[NOA_Haunted]

I can have conversations on the phone I just don't like it when people are around me when im on the phone.

[Sam]

I absolutely am terrified of talking on the phone.

I can't even call to order pizza.

Also, my voice is horrible. ;-;

[Kingmush]

Me either. ;_; My dad gets mad at me at it though. U:<

[Cookie]

It's boring, and I'd rather talk to someone face to face.

[Claquesous]

I'm shy, and like Sam, I avoid talking on the phone for any reason at all costs.

[YPrrrr]

I can have conversations on the phone I just don't like it when people are around me when im on the phone.

Yeah that's me too. Talking on the phone is fine as long as I know the person

[Pyrate]

I like talking on the phone if it's with someone I know and like. But I have trouble calling stores and asking if they have a certain product or something like that.

[ME##]

At first I'm usually just uncomfortable, but after the first time I'm usually better. Though I still need to talk louder.
