As far back as I can remember, I hated calling because I thought it would be interrupting the person, since they had to drop whatever they were doing to answer the phone.

At least that’s how I felt about having to answer the phone.

So yes, I prefer texting.

I agree. For shy people like me, it’s less intrusive.

Exactly. A phone call becomes the highest priority, even if it's a telemarketer. Text messages and email can be read when the recipient is ready.
