Most of the time what I want to say can be said in less then a minute over the phone but would take too many messages. I love talking on the phone, I would rather talk on the phone then text.

Hahaha! I don't like talking on the phone much either, and apparently, because I'm a girl, that's not normal. I'd MUCH rather text away all day than have a 30-minute conversation with someone. It's just... awkward for some reason. And birthday calls are the worst! I usually don't have much more to say than 'Happy Birthday' so I end up having to pull stuff out of my ass just to scrape a few minutes on the phone. It's horrible. Texts I can ignore and get back to when I feel like it. I heart them. HEART them. ^ Oops!! Hahaha!

Talking on the phone "just to chat" has become a lost art - a lost art that I'm totally OK with being lost. However, at the same time, I find myself losing touch with friends who work in environments not conducive to gchat/aim/texting, ie: doctors, physical therapists, teachers, etc. I hate talking on the phone as well. DILEMMA. I had this exact conversation last night with my friends over dinner. Talking on the phone “just to chat” has become a lost art – a lost art that I’m totally OK with being lost.

Because instead of explaining how I live in a cave and have no social skills, I could have just said, ditto your post. Um I should have read this post before emailing you back.

I always ask- first thing- "Is this a good time? I can call back later if you're busy." I just know from my own experience, that most times my phone rings, my reaction is: "Oh man, now I've got to talk to someone." It's true. Calling is the new stopping by.
