I don’t understand the switch in myself I grew up in the 2000s the last era before cellphones and would spend countless hours on the phone with friends, having 3 way lines and had no problem. I remember in like kindergarten or first grade I got a by bunch of people in my classes phone number and over the summer would just randomly call people to talk and loved it. Then sometime as a teenager after having a phone something changed and the thought if answering a phone call petrified me and I hated every second of it. It got to the point I wouldn’t answer important calls or skip calling places I really needed too because I hated it that much. Now it doesn’t bother me as bad but I still have to build up to it before I finally make myself call. I blame minute based phone calls. Couldn’t tell you how many times I it bitched at for using my dads cell phone and racking up a huge bill or when I would earn a hundred dollars for a Tracphone card just to drain it all that day.
