[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes-- calls are not preferred. They make life more hectic.[/quote]

I am 50, and have disliked talking on the phone since way before mobile phones existed.  But I disagree with you here.  When I do pick up a call from a friend or family member, I find that it makes my day less hectic, because it reminds me to get off the frantic hamster wheel that is my to-do list and actually appreciate another person's conversation.  Yes, some things might have to get dropped or shifted to a later time, but in the end we are all worm food, so savor what is important while you can.[/quote]

My blood pressure goes down when i talk to someone either via a call or in person. Texts stress me out like I’m at work. They’re like someone standing at your desk or next to you waiting for an immediate answer. I do not have the same feeling with a phone call because it is understood that if I’m busy I won’t pick up. Text messages are as bad as someone TYPING IN ALL CAPS. [/quote]
