Helpful guide
I am a millennial but I much prefer to knock a conversation out over phone than back and forth in text, unless I have a full size computer keyboard. Typing on a phone is incredibly frustrating to me and the misunderstanding and back and forth takes what could have been a 5 minute call and turns it into a back and forth over half a day.

I get it but damn, a good friend who lives on the other side of the country phoned a few months ago and we just shot the shit for an hour. It was as surprising as it was amazing.
Often times I call while doing chores ~ a great way to multitask :)
Why are people afraid of phone calls? I literally don’t get it
I resent idea that phone calls coming through unexpectedly at any time. As if I should drop whatever I’m doing at any given moment to talk to this person.
Yes. If folks would text “can you talk this afternoon?” more often, I would take more phone call.
They come with a red button, and you’re allowed to press it. You can’t be forced into a call, you have to provide consent
I can reply to your message when I have the time for it and carry on.
I can delay the reply if it’s not urgent.
You can spend time actually writing what you want from me, so I can read it, and give you full answer. We both can then actually recall the conversation because it’s saved.
And for people saying you can deny the calls - you can, and then you deal with narcissistic assholes having beef with you for doing so.
At least have the decency to ask via text first “Hey, can I call you?” Getting no answer means NO
So true…
Just text.

I’m a millennial, and regularly talk to friends & family on the phone. There’s plenty of situations where I’d much rather talk on the phone than communicate via text.

There’s my nemesis. Gen-X, and my rule is “if you don’t see blood or fire, don’t call me. If you do, call 9-1-1 and don’t call me.”
My exception is a planned call like with a bank or for an interview, and I’ll push zoom/etc at all costs.
