Are You a Phone Person?

I personally have an extreme dislike for phones. I don't like talking on them. I do because I have to...but that's it.

My wife hates it when I go hunting because after she insists I take it with me I work hard at finding places with zero phone service, or I conveniently "forget" it in the truck lol.

I am exactly the same on this.

I have a lot of trouble with phones. Written communication is best for me since I feel I can say all I need to in that format. In person communication gets my anxiety going and somehow phones are the most difficult. In part it's because I have a very soft voice. If I have to raise it loud enough for it to carry on a phone I feel like it makes me sound angry. I don't like that.

The reason phonecalls are difficult for me is that processing auditory information is not my strong suit and neither is verbal expression. Like AOC, writing is easiest for me to express myself freely. I suspect a lot of us on Worthy are similar in that way, which is why we choose to be here. That said, I am in the process of applying for remote customer service jobs where I will be answering 50 calls a day . I'm thinking scripted calls will be different from less structured conversations...

We have something in common there. Despite my social anxiety issues I handle basic pleasantries and things that register as business to me pretty well. You're probably right about scripted calls being a different animal.

I have spoken to George in the phone who is the owner of Worthy. That is all. I am not a phone person. I talk on the phone for business issues.
