I enjoy meeting people IRL but cannot stand the phone.
Don't you find it inconvenient to be interrupted by the phone?
Sometimes I'm in a bad mood or deep in thought and it's just not a good time for me to get into communication mode.
Then there is always the awkwardness of ending the call.
Talking on the phone effectively sucks a lot of my energy and causes anxiety afterwards. It's a non trivial event.
I'd much rather see the person in person where we can communicate properly and with full attention and the time to properly do so.
But some people seem to be able to effortlessly answer the phone and switch their train of thought to deal with whoever it is without skipping a beat. I envy that ability.
