Is it normal to hate phone calls?
Yes—lots of people dislike phone calls and would rather text. It’s usually just a preference, though it’s worth looking at if fear of calls is getting in the way of things you need or want to do.
Absolutely. Phone calls can feel awkward because you have to respond on the spot, can’t read the other person’s expressions, and may not know how long the conversation will last. Texting gives you a little breathing room—and lets you avoid the dreaded “So, what’s new?” opener.
People differ: some love the immediacy of a call, while others prefer a message or a planned time to talk. If you’re avoiding calls that matter because they cause intense fear or are disrupting your life, it may help to figure out what part feels hardest and practice in small steps. But simply preferring not to call? Very normal.
