I am at my most eloquent when texting. Talk to me and I’m an idiot.

    Am I the only one who prefers face-to-face over everything else?

    It’s the only form of comms where I have all the information/cues to interpret, and no bullshit lag.

    1. In person - all cues, real time.

    2. Text - verbal comms, gives me a chance to read. No body language or tone to glean from though.

    3. I hate audio calls because I’m hard of hearing, sound quality is shit and I can’t lip read or respond on my own time.

    4. Video is somehow worse since now two sensory inputs are fucked due to awful stream quality/lag and my usual methods of trying to understand what’s said are shot. Worse, people expect it to be “better” because I can see now and it makes me angrier. 🙃
