Is it normal to not want to answer phone calls?

Nearly every time my phone is ringing, unless I know it's urgent, I will decline their call and act like i'd never seen it. If anything, I will ALWAYS prefer to text over anything. Is there anything I can do to get over this?

    I hate answering the phone and I hate when the doorbell rings.

    I answer my phone if I'm available but I wont if I am busy although I also call back when I'm not busy.
    Some people complain about not answering the phone but I think sometimes there is simple phone etiquette.
    If I am talking to someone in real life and someone calls it would be rude to the person in real life to be inturupted. I hate when I am talking to someone and they ignore me to answer their phone.

    I'm too am prone to not answering phone calls. I suspect that I have a touch of social anxiety. Perhaps you have the same sort of affliction?

    Why would you want to get over this? Why in the world should you feel obligated to answer the phone? There is this marvelous feature on every phone, I think, called voicemail. I wonder why?
