Re: Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
When I text, it is convenient and to the point. If a friend needs to talk about something, or if I do, I prefer to do it personally.

I have phone anxiety. I have to work myself up for an hour just to call my doctor and make an appointment. Not sure when it happened, its been progressive for a few years.
I think every business should have online chat.
I'm the same way.

Re: Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
It's almost never a good time. I mean it doesn't bother me when I have a moment, but invariably I get the calls from people I actually want to talk to the moment I have put my coat and shoes on to leave.

Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
Phone calls make it hard to talk because when we talk in person, we're able to read social cues about who is going to talk next, when the other person wants to end the conversation, etc. I always find myself talking at the same time as others on the phone. Plus, cell phones have made it harder to hold the phone while you talk- no more resting it on your ear! I prefer email to texts because I find texts super choppy.

I LOVE talking on the phone. I'm probably on the phone for 45 mins - 2 hours everyday!

Re: Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
Actually having a conversation while I'm in the car alone or when the kids are napping etc is totally fine. I like the phone for those rare situations. Or when I'm talking to someone that I haven't spoken to in a while and I know it's gonna be a marathon conversation
Call me at home on a regular day and I can barely hear you over the kids screaming, toys crashing down, the tv blaring, the oven timer beeping.... Lol. My conversations sound like I have adhd and Tourette's

I was wondering the same thing. I honestly would much rather talk on the phone.
I think all the reason given just add to a certain learned laziness people have become accustomed to. Yes its easier but its not true communication imo. Kids growing up watching parent communicating only via , text and email are not learning the ability to connect with people on a deeper level which in the end will make a large amount of very lonely people. They are not learning the art of communicating, this is an art that requires practice.
Text etc leave a large margin for misinterpretation and assumptions, did so and so mean this or was it that.
To those that grew up without text, email etc are losing that ability to connect. IMO
In the end, having a 2 min conversation with someone takes less time then reading, and typing a reply. The answer received will have no room for confusion. A text cannot convey sadness or joy one would hear in a voice, which would allow for a follow up question and support.

Re: Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
I have always hated talking on the phone...even before texting emerged.
I couldn't even define why. I'm extremely outgoing and not shy at all.

Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
Depends on the situation. I love talking on the phone with friends and family to catch up and BS, but if it's just something quick then I like texting. If I am having a conversation then I much rather talk on the phone.

Re: Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
I always say, I used up all my talk time by the time I was about 25. Since then I HATE talking on the phone. And I used to talk on the phone a LOT. Now I will do anything I can to avoid making a call. I'm not exactly sure why….

I totally agree. This is the evolution of technology. It wasn't that long ago that cell phones didn't exist & all you had was the home phone. Everyone was so excited when call waiting happened so we wouldn't miss a call. I completely understand people now having anxiety or awkwardness, but 20 years ago people would not understand this & it wouldn't be accepted as normal. It's kind of sad what's happened...no one should feel any emotion, really, before making a basic phone call. Technology is great, but this is one of the bad side effects.

I completely agree with you, but I'm one of the one who hates to talk on the phone! don't know when it happened exactly, could spend hours on the phone as pre-teen and probably until my early 20's. But I do worry about the new generation. They will have no communication skills.

On the flip side, I think its terrible when people are constantly chatting on their phone and not relishing the moment or paying attention to their kids. I have friends who are constantly bsing on the phone at home or out while their kids run wild. I don't think that's the kind of phone talking you mean though. And the same can be said about texting...

Re: Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?

I don't understand it. I love talking on the phone. I can be on the phones with some friends/family for hours. I prefer talking on the phone to text messaging. So much is lost in text.
This is me. I love to chat with good friends or family since no one lives near me it's hard to connect otherwise. Texting a full on conversation or even emailing is so annoying.
I do often text first to say "hey, if you have time now, give me a call." That way I don't feel like I am interrupting since they can choose to call or not.
That said I will always choose email or text when dealing with people I don't know.
ETA - and I won't take a call to chat with someone if I'm with someone else. That is rude.

I could have written this word for word.

Re: Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
I've always hated talking on the phone, even when that was the only virtual way of talking to people. Even before texting and emails, I would prefer to physically go to the person if possible, and talk in person. It has nothing to do with the convenience of texting, other than being able to avoid actually talking on the phone. I just really dislike speaking on the phone.

I'm very anti social and I find the phone breeds awkwardness and searching for things to say and i never know how to end a conversation.
Texting I can do at my own pace, at my convenience and think about what I am going to say next
This exactly. I like having the time to figure out how to word something before I "say" it. You cant do that on the phone.

Totally agree
I am all for texting when its a quick thought to get across - like 'on my way home' or 'what time are you coming' etc..
but the second it turns into a back and forth, or if there are details to work out - its all MUCH easier to do over the phone.
I think laziness and social anxiety play a huge part in it, and its sad that our society has gone that way..
So much is lost in texting!

Spinoff , why do we all hate talking on the phone ?
I like to talk on the phone, but it's so frustrating when one or both of you is on a cell phone and the phone keeps breaking up or the call keeps getting dropped. I barely have time to talk on the phone lately with two little kids to take care of, so spending time saying "hello? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? ....." over and over is just not how I want to spend my time of i get a chance to have a conversation with someone older than 4  it's much easier to text throughout the day when I have a free moment here and there.
