Is it normal to hate talking on the phone without a purpose

I hate it when friends call me and "they just wanna talk", I can handle it for about 5 minutes, and it's not for lack of trying but I just can't force myself to come up with something to say if there isn't a flow there.
In person I can talk non stop but over the phone it just feels hella awkward wasting time talking about nothing.

    The reason why I call someone for "no reason" is because I'm afraid to lose that connection I had with them when I befriended them. I chat even when it gets awkward. I also call them so I make sure they know I care about them and the friendship we have together.

    I'm not sure about people who constantly call like a billion times a day.

  • Same here, I only like to talk on the phone to make plans, and my boyfriends always got offended that I didn't want to "chat". When I'm on the phone for more than 5 mins I start thinking of a hundred other more interesting things I could be doing.

    i am in total agreement with you. in fact, i use caller id to screen my calls, because usually you know who wants to call and just chitchat about nothing. i have offended some people by doing that, but if it's important, they can leave a message and i will call right back. but they find that insulting.

    I feel like that when I am talking to mostly anybody besides my best friends which I only have 2. I don't like conversing with anyone else because of that awkward tension. Honestly when you're like me and no one ever calls you it gets really lonely. You miss that no point conversation.
