Talking over phone isnt bad, it can be much quicker and easier than texting. And phone calls are definitely a million times better than sending voice messages in an instant messenger (really hate those).
That might be true, but it’s also more personal and us introverts get lots of anxiety exposing ourselves.
I think for everyone it takes some time to get used to talking over the phone.

good question for https://lemmy.ml/c/polls
I have a terrible memory and prefer text to voice. Also I’m very shy.
I’ve never understood Zoomers problem with making a phone call? They grew up with smartphones and kids nowadays even get a smartphone at an age of 2 from their irresponsible parents.
So what’s the problem with using the device for what it was invented for?

Okay, so it’s because of the same reason they don’t like to use emails anymore. There is an association to apply to a job or communicate with teachers, etc. and they are uncomfortable to use it, because of that.
Maybe I can compare it with my generation (Millennials). We didn’t use letters to write to friends and didn’t know the concept of a pen pal, because every time we get a letter (made out of paper) it was a bill or something different uncomfortable. Emails and ICQ were our thing, especially boomers didn’t know how to use the internet (or haven’t seen a useful purpose) at the time and that’s why we even liked it more.
So in general it’s conditioning a whole generation to make only bad experience with a thing, until they get anxious about it.

Honestly I prefer normal phone calls. Text feels soulless.
