    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.
