People are so itching for social connection these days, so reaching out more by phone is natural.
Problem is, I hate telephone conversations. Maybe because I'm an introvert, I have no patience for sitting on the phone in idle conversation. I love texting, because the conversations are shorter and I can respond at my leisure. But if I feel I'm going to get locked into a conversation that will take more than 5-10 minutes I start looking for the exit.
How about you guys? Do you spend much time in conversation on the phone? If so, are you an extrovert? I'm wondering if there is an introvert/extrovert divide on this. And do you have more of a yearning to talk to people on the phone more now, during the quarantine?
I'm still doing the minimal, but I have to say that I had a great conversation with my MN brother a couple of weeks ago, and it made me realize I really should talk to some people more often.
