I’m the same about ’phone calls. No doubt every functioning human has to do them at some point by necessity (and you’ve got your Teams interviews and calls which have to be done that way and that’s fine) but beyond that I don’t want to be on the other end unless it’s truly necessary and that goes even if I absolutely love you. I’m much more comfortable having conversations with people face-to-face (at least with people I feel comfortable with) or in writing and I’ve always got a good listening-ear for long voice-notes but calling people isn’t something I do for fun or just for the sake of talking. Only when it’s unavoidable/unavoidably professional or I just want to buzz someone quickly to get their attention quicker than texts there’s no guarantee would be read on-time would. I know I annoy lots of people by barely ever returning calls (I’ve always got my mobile on “Do Not Disturb” anyway) but I guess everyone has their quirks and preference-habits.
Generally I’ll be at the door if I’m around but like I say spontaneity stops being fun for me when it becomes social and I have to stop cooking or watching Emmerdale to see to someone I didn’t know wanted to come.
