I hate talking to people on the telephone

I do too! Talking on the phone just to talk seems like a big waste of time to me! If you're like, making plans or actually telling someone importsnt stuff then I don't mind it, but when my friends call me I hate it! And they like to talk for like 3 hours straight!! D=... This has always surprised me because I'm a girl..

I hate talking on the phone too. I am pretty social in real life, but I just hate talking on the phone. I have gotten used to it and can have fairly long conversations with friends, but I still absolutely hate calling businesses and the like. I would have to ask someone else to call to order something over the phone or find out when a business closes because I can't do it.

I can talk with friends on a phone just fine, but when it comes to that business situation, I hate it. I just screw up my words and sometimes I want to cry after they hang up.

Mainly, I like talking to people in real life, I don't have much exp. with video chat, I can chat or email just fine, but telephoning strangers is so hard for me.

i hate calling people on the phone, im fine at answering the phone, but if i need to make a docotors appointment, i would rather drive 3 miles and go to the reception rather than call. if i have to make a phone call i get very anxious, it normally takes me a week to build up to doing it. it took me 3 months to book a dentist appointment cos i didnt want to ring up. i dont know if this is normal!

It's normal, because I was the same way. You might want to try & break out of it though, because MANY people prefer to talk on the phone for awhile. I dated a guy who wanted to talk more than text, so it forced me to wanna break out of it & compromise.

I hate taking on the phone also. I will go out of my way to avoid it. It's odd but totally normal.

Very normal. I never answer the phone.
