Why do he get so worried when it takes me a bit to call him back?

My guy friend and I talk all the time. Like all day from morning to night. Beginning with a good morning and ending with a love you good night. Our normal day ends with 4 hours of conversation on calls (doesn’t include text or In person seeing) I am a very quick answer most of the time but sometimes I don’t hear the phone ring or get busy with something. He goes back and forth with being cool about waiting for me to call back. Or texting me and messaging me and calling me again if it’s within 15 mins. Why does he go back and forth between being chill about the delay to slightly freaking out over it

The male ego is as fragile as an egg. That causes erratic behavior

Why does it hurt his ego that I don’t answer right away even if I end up calling back within 15-20 mins

When he is thinking that he is not good enough for you or that you are not thinking about him.
Guys also have this protection instinct thing going on in our head.

Because he’s really into. I probably would be worried a little if he ends up not caring as much or worrying as much. That’s what’s happening to me. He was always worried and now the tables has turned and I’m the one that’s always worried.
