Texting or Calling?

[crishmael]

I've hated the phone all my life because I don't like talking on the phone, so I prefer texting for short exchanges or brief messages. But if it's an extended conversation I prefer an actual phone call.

Calling in both cases. I'd rather talk.

I think it depends for me.

I like texting because I can keep a conversation going through out the whole day without talking. Which makes me feel more connected with a person. Also, I have a birds brain so anything people tell me though a phone call, I'll most likely forget. A text allows me to re-read things and better understand them and stuff. I guess it's because I am a visual person.

I don't mind talking on the phone, but I prefer to be the one called. I don't like to be the one to text/call first. I just don't like it. Not even with my own family which gets me in trouble sometimes because, well, I don't let the folks know what's up. Of course if it's important stuff I will call/text. I'm just not the type to initiate a conversation with anybody. I always feel like I'm bugging people and I just put it off.

With a bf, of course I would love to talk as much as possible, but sometimes it's just easier to text... and again, I'm a visual person, so getting to see words on a screen just works better.

I do think that anything really serious should be done over the phone rather than texting. It's faster. Plus, sometimes texting can be annoying. lol


I guess long story short, I like both options as long as I don't have to initiate anything.

Depends who I am talking to

it depends on what needs to be communicated. i used to hate texting, but i'm geting used to it.

so in other words, if it's a message that is one-way or doesn't need further conversation i will text. if it's that important, i call.

I struggle with texts, sometimes I miss read it and send back a txt on what I thought they said, or I struggle to see how a person is expressing there feelings in a text, so for me it has to be a phone call
