I have a phone (pretty sure most people do), and I think I got my first phone around when I was in middle school, but I don’t actually remember when I first got one. I pretty much only use my phone for watching Netflix or YouTube, in addition to sometimes playing games, using Discourse or Discord, or actually texting people. I definitely don’t pick up random phone calls, and I thankfully don’t tend to get them that often. I also prefer calling people, because it frees up my hands to do other things, and I tend to overthink things way more in texts.

Yes. I pick it up because it might be an important call. But answering them still gives me anxiety.

I prefer texting as much as possible. Although I prefer phone calls when I’m talking to someone I’m close with, or when it’s an emergency.

Texting 100000000000%

[Ouijaloveletters]

Both of my ex’s broke up with me over the phone, the first one was shy, don’t hate on him, nur feel free to rip the second one a new one. I now get nervous when people call, except for family.

@unsungcheerio

I wanna hear more about this

[bluecrystal]

Yeah I do have a phone, I actually got one really young I was about 9 it was a used galaxy s3. I use my phone for texting, social media, and other random sh*t. Answering calls from people other than my family really stresses me out, so if I don’t recognize a number I won’t pick up. I prefer texting over calls and facetime.

@unsungcheerio

possessed
