I Don't Enjoy Talking On The Phone

Can We Talk Face-to-face Please?

By: 3grnowl

Written on April 27th, 2012

I would very much rather talk to you in person if we are to have a conversation. When someone calls me I cannot guarantee I have the time, or I am in the mindset to have a conversation. I feel phone calls should be reserved for making plans or relaying time-sensitive important information. I do not want to be rude, but I just can't focus when talking on the phone. I cannot observe facial expression and body language so I feel disconnected. I have trouble getting someone off the phone once we are talking, because I don't know how to explain without coming off as rude or insensitive. I can't be the only one who feels this way though right?

  I think i find it more difficult to talk to people online, my grammar is bad and it mgiht be the lack off facial expressions, the sense of them being there infront of you etc that makes act on a nother wavelength with poeple. I mgiht come off weirder than i would be in person.

  I suppose a webcam would work for someone who couldn't realistically meet in person (such as who lives far away), but I still feel an unexpected long call is an intrusion on my time. I get pretty busy sometimes and I cannot guarantee my full concentration.

Strange coincidence... It is exactly how I feel. So, I guess I am not the only one after all. :)
