    Expedient texting. Or hanging out, but over distance.

    Riddle me this, call not-likers: what is the difference between calling your friend, over the phone, and calling them on your teamspeak of choice (or whatever is popular these days).

    Is it the impromptu nature of it? Just don’t answer when it’s not convenient then, it’s not the 90s, they can follow up with a text if you can’t pick up.

    Is it the talking to people in general? Then I fail to see why calls are the issue.

    This is assuming you know the personal calling, via callerID.

    Is it you feel more rushed and flustered because you can’t see each other, and thus can’t pick up on visual cues?

    All in all, thoroughly confused why people have an aversion to calls, I think they’re rather expedient and useful. Depending on what’s called for. (I feel this way in both work and social contexts).
