Absolutely hate talking on the phone. Hate it. Have to do it a lot for my job and I hate that too.

Once in a while i actually prefer to make a call but if the person I’m calling doesnt answer straight away then I’m afraid that window of being fine with it has gone for at least a year.

I worked in a call centre once, selling things - i can not believe this about myself

Comfort level depends on if there’s a defined purpose for the call I think, more than who it is I’m calling.

Yeah I finally bit the bullet and did this as an old friend who is a bit of a loose cannon keeps contacting me now and it’s stressing me the hell out. Apparently it doesn’t work for group convos though
