Dont you think phone is a better way to comunicate rather than facing a person?

How about phoning a person to comunicate your thoughts and emotions, regrets and ideas rather than facing him/her personaly. Its smart idea to get in touch and convey your feelings how freely and thoughtfully it depends!

Well, it depends on how serious is the situation. If the situation is very serious, it's better to talk face to face. From there, you are able to patch things up more easily. If you are only talk through phone, the person who received your call, won't felt happy and may start to felt your insincerity. When you had make a mistake, it's better to talk face to face. But, if for a common chat, then talking on the phone is alright and very convenient. I always talks on the phone to my parents and loved ones when i am free, just to keep in touch with them. Yes, phone is a very useful thing.

Ofcourse it depends on the situation and if it makes you comfortable while seeing a person and speaking helps thats fine but I think chatin on phone is the way out when youre in fix!

Of course it depends on several things. For example, if we are far away from the person or people we want to communicate with, cell phone is the answer. But if that is not the case, I guess meeting them in person will be a better choice. Anyway technology is there to make our life easier. It means that we should be the master of technology and use it to fulfill our needs instead of being the slave of the technology, right? Cheers!

somehow i hold a different opinion. i would rather mail the person than talk to him if i find it delicate to face him due to any reason. i just am not very comfortable talking on the phone and would rather write down my feelings.

I think it's a test. It's always easier to be yourself (or who you want to be) when only voices/texts are exchanged. For example, here in the Philippines.. most people are so funny, talkative and friendly in text world. But when you personally meet, there's this shyness which doesn't seem to exist when you communicate through phones. I guess using phones is very modern and convenient. I'd still insist on seeing my friends though. I only contact them through phone when I'm too lazy to get up from my swivel chair, MyLotting. ;) I'm just saying that I like having no superficial relationships with people.

It's better to say something to someone face to face. Specially in important situations like apologizing to someone or asking someone out or breaking up with them.

oh face to face it makes you different and you cannot express so freely and vividly., youll have to think while speaking or else.,

Sometimes it makes it easier to use the phone. then you won't have to see the expressions. but depending on what you are communicating it is respectful to do it in person.

I much prefer to talk to a person face to face. There are so many different aspects of communication (body language, etc.) that can't be conveyed over a phone. In fact, I very much dislike talking on the phone for this reason.

I prefare texting because when you're in a public place and youre talking on the phone it's embaressing so i tend to text in public places but overall i like to talk face to face because you can get a whole lot more out of the conversation.

it all depends on what you hope to achieve, really.
