do you enjoy talking on the phone?

I love to post messages and chat. I even write letters the old fashion way with stamps! (woo hoo!) But if the phone rings, I screen it everytime, and if I have to call back, I pray for an answering machine. I have always hated dead air. So when I talk to someone, I need something significant to say. It amazes me to see people walking down the street or grocery shopping while having these long conversations on cell phones. I just don't have that much to say to anyone. What's wrong with me?

I don't like talking on the phone unless I have to. I don't have caller ID, but I have my answering machine screen calls. I am on the phone a LOT at work during the day so I'd rather not be on it when I get home in the evening.

I'm more of a text message kind of girl. Answering the phone usually isn't a problem. It's making calls that I can't do. I'll hold the phone in my hand for several moments, sometimes even hours, before I finally get the nerve to make a call... if I ever make the call at all.

I know that feeling. LOL I hesitate to even call to schedule a doctor's appointment or to check the hours for a store. Seems like such a hassle. i don't know why. Of course, I really dread picking up the phone to call that friend who won't let you hang up

it depends. if i'm talkin to business or work matters, i don't really enjoyed it but when i'm talkin to my friends or to someone close to me, i don't like it ever to end especially when we talk about good topics and we laugh our heart out! that's really awesome!

I feel your pain. I hate talking on the phone. There seems to be a lot more sitting around waiting on someone to end the conversation in actual phone conversations than say an e-mail would.
