Is it normal to not want to talk on the phone?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes. Plenty of people dislike phone calls and would rather text, especially when a call feels sudden or puts them on the spot.
Totally normal. Phone calls ask you to respond in real time, without the pause you get to think or edit a text, and some people just find that tiring or awkward. Others are happy to chat by phone but hate unexpected calls—both preferences are common.
It’s fine to let people know you’d rather text or to ask them to message before calling. If avoiding calls is keeping you from handling things you care about, you could try easing into them with short, planned calls—but you don’t need to become a phone person just because someone else is.
