I only call if its family.

If you're a friend. You best not be calling me just tryna ask me a question.


I dont know if it's just me but I find it funny how I can be by my phone for hours on end, but the moment I leave it to use the washroom or some shyt, I come back and I see a missed call. Now I feel obligated to call back even when I know it's for some bull shyt :francis:

I feel OP, though.

But to my defense - I worked in a call center. After two years of answering a phone back to back to back to all day long, the last thing I’m trying to do is talk on the phone for any reason. I don’t care what it is.

My mother was the type to call about dumb shyt until I successfully turned her into team #imessage. Now, all she does is text. But I can appreciate this.

The only people who I’m inclined to answer for is my brother, who lives overseas...and my grandmother who is 94. And these are for obvious reasons.

in any form of communication a lot of people need to cut out the bullshyt. Whether is a call or a text. Send me the relevant info and i'll respond, don't call or text me trying to "kick it" with information sprinkled in.

People need to be more self aware of how they may come off to others.

and I've always wondered why so many super outgoing people never link up with each other, it's like they'd rather find their introverted friends and family to bother.

I only on the phone when it's legit businesses and there's a budget involved....everything else is text/DM

but im trying to get better with calling folks just to check in on them....I usually shoot a text for this.... i kinda envy my one bro he can just randomly call people and talk for like an hour or more .....i don't have that gene in me :yeshrug:

This

I think they personally look for someone to soundboard. I noticed outgoing friends don’t call each other as much as they call me.

I’m outgoing too but I just look for my own space a lot. Especially if shyt is on my mind, then I definitely don’t care about listening to your problems for hours.

I do need to do better by my chick though

Calls everyday all day, especially when setting up plans.

Where, when, at what time. With texting, a 1 min convo can lead to 20 mins of back and forth

How do yall be having 20 minute text convos?

Like I'll text now, someone may not look at their phone for like 3 or 4 mins, then I may be away from my phone for a few mins. Rinse and repeat. With texting sometimes there's a lag in response times and such.

Ok but I’m assuming that’s important shyt.

I’m talking most people who call and don’t be talking about shyt.

Y’all get it confused... if it’s NOT important, don’t call me to talk for 2 hours when you feel like it

I’m a caller as opposed to a texter. I don’t got time to potentially wait hours for a response from someone or have a multi day back and forth when I could just call you and get whatever I need to talk about over in five minutes.
