    Not even sure if it’s (always) that? I’m neither introverted nor especially socially anxious but I hate hate hate taking or placing phone calls. I think (?) It’s because there’s a certain loss of control associated with it given I can’t take my time responding as I can with chat messages.

      It’s also the detached nature of voice only, and as you said, synchronous, no time to think much.

        For me I prefer talking in person, phone call, messaging, forums.

        The mental toll is also in the same order

        Yep, it’s cause it’s voice only and you can’t see facial expressions or gestures. I hate it.
