Do you ever just not have the energy to return phone calls?

I know that sounds very rude. Sometimes I just don't want to chat on the phone.

I have a friend who can talk over 2 hours, I mean she could say everything she needs to in 15 or less but she doesn't.

@cherokeepatti Yes! I just can't do it!

i bet she doesn’t text either .... does she?? @cherokeepatti
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@NiftyWhite no she doesn't. I cut off my house phone and have a cell phone, no voice mail but do have text messaging. If she wants to leave a message she can text. She has her cell phone set to where the number is blocked.

i never activated my voicemail because i even hate calling that. i hate returning calls. i can see you called on my roster of incoming and outgoing calls through my phone. if it’s important text me.
@NiftyWhite I’d say the exact opposite, if it’s important,ring me!
NiftyWhite · 46-50, F
@TopOfTheWorld yeah if it’s an emergency. otherwise text. i can’t make or take phone calls at work for example but i can sure read a message real quick
@NiftyWhite that sounds the best way at work for you. For me, I often don’t see a text for an hour or more after it’s arrived but if my phone rings I’ll usually answer it there and then.
It's not rude if they don't know 👀

You could be..caught up with housework..your phone was probably on silent for some reason...

@issues Exactly!

I've got rid of my phone service.
SW-User
@Serenitree Oh wow! Really? How do people get a hold of you?
Serenitree · F
I have two email addresses, and messenger and hangouts.com. And on messenger and hangouts, I can even talk to them. The only thing different is they can't get ahold of me when I'm not on wifi....which is just how I like it. I lived 65 or more years without anybody calling me while I'm shopping or out for dinner with a friend.

Oh, and I don't have that extra bill each month.

Omg yes. Calling or texting. I just can't deal sometimes.
SW-User
@Starbursteffect I wonder if a lot of us are just overloaded?
Starbursteffect · 51-55, F
@SW-User especially after dealing with the public all day

It also says something about your desire to speak to the person you don't feel like speaking to...
SW-User
@fun4us2b But the thing is, I really like the person. I just don't feel like chatting.
NiftyWhite · 46-50, F
@SW-User same with me. i like my bff but it’s a commitment to chat in the phone lol
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
I don't answer my phone. It only encourages people to call me.
Tracos · 51-55, M
yep... know exactly what you mean....
SW-User
@Tracos And it's not even that I don't like the person. I just don't have that much energy.
