Do you need to get psyched up to make a phone call?

[AngryCarl3]

I do, and I'm wondering just how abnormal I am.

Yes

No

To a degree, share details below

Nope. I try and do things instinctively. The more time I take to think about an outcome or action the more likely I am to fuck things up.

My brain does thing quickly in terms of "should I or shouldn't I". Then when it answers "yes or no", I act on it before going down the rabbit hole of possible outcomes.

I know people say think before you act, but honestly, at this stage in life, I don't feel I need more than a couple seconds, otherwise I'll rationalize and talk myself out of what is necessary.

Works for me.

Strike while the iron is hot! I hear ya.

[NathanDavis]

if you mean that kind of anxiety... no

but I sure need to clear the area from all other noise, lmao

maybe I should get my ears checked or something...

[Nikki1989]

No, and I only make calls for work purposes. My phone gets shut off at 4pm daily. I have turned off by the time I am walking out of the office.

[AngryCarl3]

Making phone calls was the part of my job I hated the most.

[choco-latte]

I usually dread having to make phone calls lol

[AngryCarl3]

I know, right?

[browsingthroughthe]

Lol speak for yourselves 😈 worse fears out there lol 😆 heights anyone. Scary 😮

[Massageman]

Depends on the type and content of the phone call. 90% of the time, no one will answer. If I need an immediate response, I will call. Otherwise, a message/email will usually do.

If I was going to call a girl it would take me a few days to work up the nerve.

[AngryCarl3]

Makes sense.

[WhitneySnow]

Sure. Depends on the call, I guess. And if it really made me nervous I’d just text them if I could.

[browsingthroughthe]

Lol - ah to be the young generation again I mean honestly, people can't even speak nowadays lol 😆 phone 📱 I must be showing my dumb phone age

[DryGermanGuy]

No, but I hate phoning with people that can't really speak but mumble-jumble. 🤬😖

[OneViewpoint]

Uh no, I just pick up the phone and dial a number.

[Anonymous]

I used to. But I realized life is too short for me to worry about stuff like that.

[browsingthroughthe]

No 📱 📱📞

It's a phone call ☺️

Lol.

[IAMNathanael]

Yes. And sort of ruins my whole day just thinking about it

[bummy]

I don't care how I feel on a given day. I don't need to get "psyched up" to make a phone call. I just do what I need to do, regardless of how I feel or what mood I'm in on a given day.

[Anonymous]

It depends who the call it is to. Sometimes.

[Iron_Man]

No not at all cake walk

[Alex-Snow]

Not at all

[browsingthroughthe]

Ditto Alex.
What comes naturally
Eh?
🤳🏻

[Alex-Snow]

@browsingthroughthe It is just a phone call no big deal

[browsingthroughthe]

Exactly right? How on earth do the Gen Z survive these days lol 😆 and im 32. Now some would say I'm "advanced Gen Z if I was counted at 1994" - ah well ❤️‍🩹

[browsingthroughthe]

I don't even do video calls. At all. Unless I have to, off of my phone

[Alex-Snow]

@browsingthroughthe I grew up in a world with cell phones, tablets, no landlines and communicated with friends on socials like FB, IG etc. But unlike some of my peers I like talking more than text

[browsingthroughthe]

@Alex-Snow Alex, at 21, I tell you, at my 32.5 years. I'm glad I've gotten to see a lot. Fax machines. PC computers. Nowadays PC computers. Dumb phones. Smart phones. God sure has been great 😃👍🏻

You're 67, get a grip
