I don’t stutter or fuck up my speech over a text.

I still cant get any of my friends to realize that talking on the phone is LITERAL FUCKING HELL.
I can’t hear you cause I’m deaf, I can’t understand you cause I can’t see you, and I don’t know how to respond socially cause your not right in front of me. Also, just because I have a phone absolutely does not mean you get to hijack my time whenever you want, only I get to do that.
If you want something, just text. I’ll respond (maybe) when I can actually think of a response.
I have to make about 5 - 7 phone calls for important shit in my life. I am actively suffering for not having made these calls. It’s getting worse.
All I can do is hope that I will wake up one day and I’ll feel okay enough to make one of the phone calls. It happens every once in a while, I swear.
Just have to wait…
They’re the freaking worst and I wish I could hire an assistant to make calls for me.
I typically avoid it like the plague. Texts are so much more elegant
Yeah, given the choice, I’d rather avoid the phone all together. Unless it’s close friends/family, I have to script what I’m going to say to get through it. I don’t have the same reaction to video calls, interesting enough…
I used to. It was curable via exposure for me. Had to do it at work a lot and just got used to it.
