Telephone conversations

random

Recently, the past 4-5 months, telephone conversations are becoming increasingly difficult for me, and this is compounding problems as many people just don't seem to want to communicate by anything other than a phone. I mentioned it to my doctor last week, and he said just think about what you want to say and phone. That hasn't made any difference

  • I hate phone calls.

    I will text and email happily enough and most will try to comply as they understand it a real genuine hate. I can make business calls as it a set thing to say but hate any social phone calls. I managed to phone my priest last month, I chuckle, as he knew it was me because of the number. I really didn't know how to start or anything. He goes, 'I can't hear anything'. I was silent. But that gave me a reason to start and said 'that because am not saying anything because I don't know how....' then he got the reason for the call. I normally email or text. He does fully know.

    But yes i hate calls and even at the work programme yesterday my worker said someone would ring and I panicked and explained. Could he leave a message and I ring back. She wasn't too keen but noted it as such but will try to answer because this one important.

    But i think it an autism trait as such hating the phone. Am not big on loose chat so over the phone presents big issues for me. Text then I can text an essay or dissertation and write a series of books on email. But the phone I hate too...
