When they are concise and with purpose , phone calls are great. But I have so little patience to draw it out into an hour-long affair. And even less for video calls, because then I can’t even be tidying up or doing anything while it happens

I hate typing on a phone and I love the opportunity to knock a conversation that would’ve happened over 2-4 hours in 2 minutes.

No, you must refuse to talk to anyone on the phone like a good little autistic person with phone anxiety.

I get time anxiety instead. So many misunderstandings chatting back and forth and fuck typing on a touchscreen in general.

You definitely miss a lot when you can’t hear tone. It is hard to detect emotions when texting and this can definitely cause misunderstandings.
I am old school so to speak because I was around during the time of pagers before cell phones. Texting through pagers was the old technology and making a voice call through a cell was the new technology.
Obviously texting has it uses, but it will always feel a step backwards from voice calls for me.
