It really is. I can’t quite wrap my head around what makes calling and talking to someone such a struggle for an otherwise normal and healthy person. The most obvious answer is anxiety, but if your anxiety is to that point you really should be talking to a professional about it. …Which I guess would require calling them. You know what, nevermind this makes sense all of a sudden.
There’s a TV ad recently for a budgeting personal data vacuum app that has fake street interviews. One of the things the actor says is she can’t bring herself to call to cancel things so the app does it for her.
I’ve heard people online and in person say they can’t handle making phone calls but the idea that it’s so common it’s in an ad like it’s normal is crazy.
I have a problem of barely understanding the language where I live now. It complicates communication a bit as you may guess, and this is also doubled because noone here uses text, you text in WhatsApp and they call you for details.
The aversion to social experiences broadly is becoming more than an annoying problem, if people continue to avoid meeting, socializing and forming relationships at this rate, our society may literally collapse. The weird fear of phone calls is just a symptom of a deeper de-socialization problem that’s ruining a lot more than dating and friendships.
Lack of community and involvement is allowing our politics to control us, instead of the other way around as a democracy should be, there are fewer people caring about issues outside of their phone screen, and there will be an aging population and not enough people to do the physical labor needed to keep society afloat.
People now call themselves “introverts” or “antisocial” like it’s a disease they can’t control and make zero effort to get better at talking to others.
The “Gen Z stare” is real and it’s disturbing as fuck. If you can’t act normal when taking a fast-food order, you need to think long and hard about your personal habits and behavior.
This adversity to calling is a real f’n problem.

I know, skill issue, anyway
Good job moving outside your comfort zone!
