Is it normal to hate voice notes?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s totally normal to hate voice notes. Some people find them convenient; others find them hard to listen to, replay, or fit into a busy day.
Voice notes can feel like a tiny, unskippable podcast you didn’t ask for—especially when you can’t listen right away, need to replay something, or just want to scan a message quickly. It’s a preference, not a sign you’re being rude or difficult.
Plenty of people like sending them because talking is faster or feels more personal. If you’d rather text, it’s fine to say, “Could you send that in a message? I can’t listen right now.”
