Why Introverts HATE Phone Calls | 5 Quick Tips to Help Manage Them

[@sarahjaneross2918]

It's like being TRAPPED and i try to insist on a quick call, but relatives just like to "chat". I absolutely hate the phone with a passion.

[@sarahjaneross2918]

I am moving to a small remote island where the coverage is really bad 😂

[@drutubeGodsChosenVessel]

Duh I hate phone calls with a passion I wish I never even had a phone sometimes.

[@vicentecesardasneves1409]

I get insanely nervous when i get or give phone calls. Especially giving a phone call. There is nothing worse than calling someone you don’t know well and having an awkward conversation that will haunt you in your mind for months.

[@toshithegreat4233]

Ohhh thanks…I thought i m the only one who hates phone calls…its makes me so irritated …useless conversation…and i even couldn’t tell them please stop….At least they should have mind to understand that someone is not interested to talk so need to drop the call…

[@gunjenchauhan6736]

True✨

[@BunnysTips]

FRRR Like sometimes its not that you dont like the person, your just probably in an uncomfortable or awkward place in a phone call, i honestly dont like calling and having conversasions because im just not intrested and id prefer talking to them in person. Sometimes it is a useless conversasion or your just wasting time on the phone when your not intrested in engaging on the phone but it doesnt mean you dont like the person. To me it just feels forces sometimes and theres no way out of it until they want to leave.

[@SorayaEsfandiary_]

I absolutely hate not having time to think/do some research before answering. There’s no need to talk to others, everything can be solved through email/text.

[@stephanienelson7252]

Or clairvoyance

[@DiBaozi]

My family says I’m bad with phones when the truth is my phone works just fine, it’s right next to me, and I know you are calling…I just avoid the call on purpose and put it off until I’m ready which used to be the next day. Now it’s a few hours.

[@Shenmue06]

I'm the same way. It's always a family member that wants to hangout over the weekend or something. I'm introverted so I usually hate hanging out with people 😂. I'll never understand extroverted people at all. I understand wanting to party or go out on a date but hanging out in general with a bunch of small talk is torture for me.

[@KennethDiazperlloni]

This is why I hate working in IT help desk, but sadly that's the first job you gotta get in order to gain experience in IT.

This is so on point! Specially 4 and 5. "hello, you still there?!" when the silence takes too long 🤮

[@gloriabyas8088]

I love the faces on the character!🥰😍😅 It really adds to the humor! As a introvert, I totally relate to this video!

[@nameissturdy1390]

I don’t care if it sounds “rude” anymore. You’ve called me and that already started impinging on my time. I take my doodles very seriously. A caller assumes that you you want to speak and/or hear what they have to say. There’s my loved ones that I do, and the important one’s you Have to (payment is due by Tuesday.) Is it wrong to say “ok then, I have to go” when someone is telling you what they ate today-after telling you what they ate yesterday? 60 is around the corner and I have to find my 0.1 Micron pen. (Sorry this is so long.)

[@pratapsinghrana28]

I get anxiety attacks when someone calls me...... I feel extremely guilty if i avoid calls leading towards more anxiety and panic attacks

I learned sending a audio message is a nice medium. I can’t stand getting phone calls. Ironically the only calls l’ll pick up for are calls from people that normally don’t call, because I assume it’s important

[@MadameFlutterbi]

I would sooner text or deal with something online, I even avoid ringing the doctors.

The ringtone tip is so real! I usually use very calming ringtones and it really helps me :)

[@annabethwivell327]

Phone calls are even more annoying for me where I live, as it’s compounded by the fact that voicemail doesn’t exist in this country, and I’m usually having to communicate in a language which is not my first language.

I don’t want to see them either 🤣

[@margievillagomez8734]

Love this video. It's so true

[@idziak4ever]

I make the message on my phone extremely long and talk slowly so that callers get annoyed and hang up. That way I can miss a call and the message.

[@danieldaemen]

Thanks for this

[@stevenspicer14]

Can we please, please, stop characterizing introverts as “annoyed” at small talk. Small talk isn’t annoying, it’s stressful. You’re only propagating the characterization of introverts as jerks and a-holes.

[@gracealexandre3381]

To me, the phone is a REAL DISTURBANCE!! It is a real WASTE OF TIME!! When applying for any job, as soon as I see answering the phone under responsibilities, I stop right there, and don't apply. Even at home, I stay as far away from the phone as I can!!

[@philipdunne3047]

What do you mean by "new friends"?

[@aktatts]

all said in this video about calls is wrong. im a introvert and i only like deep conversation on calls. i dont like chatting. .

[@MrsLarsen89]

Just because it doesn’t apply to you doesn’t mean it’s only wrong. It might be wrong in some cases as in yours. I’m an introvert and enjoy phone calls with specific people so I somewhat agree with you. I used to dread phone calls with other people than those few but I’ve learned to simply tell the other person that I’m busy when I get tired of talking.

[@NightCloudI]

​@@MrsLarsen89same, I don't mind phone calls as long as it's the one close family member or my one friend.

[@brianfoster4434]

Replace the word "introvert" with "autistic". That is my experience.

[@Coryraisa]

But not all introverts have autism and not all people with autism are introverts, so those two terms can't be used interchangeably.

[@Lightning77305]

Do you realize how insulting that is? How about I class all extroverts as autistic, do you like that?

[@brianfoster4434]

@@Lightning77305 I am autistic. So, the meaning of my comment was if you replace the word introvert with autistic the characteristics discussed in this video resemble me and it is because I am autistic.
