Texting began the telephobia, I hate texting.
That said if I get a call that says scam I don't answer.
Have fun it's friday.
How low have we sunk?
Poor weedle snowflakes.
I always dread calling people on the phone, at least when you text, you know you’re not forcing them to stop what they are doing.
Almost every adult I know, who is 45 or younger, is bad at answering phone calls or responding to texts.
I don’t know what it is. They don’t even seem to feel guilty about ignoring messages.
Oh, I answer each one of the 6 or 7 robocalls I receive each day ... and I play one of several “special recordings” I have collected over the years when they come on the line. Depending on how many times they’ve called or at what time they call (some as early as 5 or 6 a.m.), they may be treated to one of my “special recordings.” (An ol’ man’s gotta have a little fun, ya know!) Cheers!
Another misnomer, like “homophobia” (literally “fear of the same”); this one means “fear of covering distances”.
Shouldn’t the term be something like “telephone phobia”? “Tele” in Greek means distant or far away, so “Telephobia” would mean fear of distance.
I had telephobia long before texting was invented. Always have hated making phone calls but can’t think of any reason for it, save perhaps one disgusting, vile prank caller when I was a kid.
I didn’t know it was a thing but I hate using cell phones. The old phones not so much. Maybe I hate calling because I hate being called on a cell.
I don’t have telephobia: I have telehatred. I HATE telephones. Have hated them since I was a child.
They never ring when it is convenient for me to answer, and almost always when it is most inconvenient.
I turn on my phone maybe six times a year; If you absolutely have to speak to me, email me for an appointment to phone. I’ve been known to drive 60 miles just to avoid making a phone call and talk to people in person.
Thank God for inspiring Algore to invent the internet. If it weren’t for email and FR, no one would ever hear from me.
Of course many people would consider that a blessing.
Probably because outside of a few calls to family my phone calling consists of hearing, "your call is very important to us. (No, it isn't. Otherwise you would have answered!) please continue to hold for the next available representative. Your expected wait time is 14 hours and 37 minutes."
The only phobia I have is trying to call for help, where I have to jump through hoops to talk to a person.
The therapeutic state invents yet another phony disorder. Of course the only “treatment” is suicide and homicide inducing drugs
Telephobia, no girlia. Tragedy.
When you want her bad enough....you will ovetcome it.
