Anyone exhibiting Mr Fishers phobia needs to consider seeing a therapist - Its going to cause them major problems at work and socially.
I have noticed a reluctance to use the goddammed phone as intended - rather than call me to discus something important and time sensitive people will just add a task to base camp in a some what passive aggressive way
- wildrhythms 9y agoI have no social anxiety or fear of public speaking or anything of the sort (I studied theatre for years and now I do improv in my free time). I have no problems at work; I like to think I have no problems socially. Yet I also hate telephones for all of the reasons that the author listed. Part of a past job involved helping customers over the phone. Calls are interruptive, unreliable, and inefficient. Repeating names, addresses, numbers, or relying on customers to accurately describe something. There is no real authentication. Maybe it's a good medium for people who have trouble writing/typing effectively. My friends do not use the telephone either. We agree where/when via text or email.
