Making a phone call is not difficult, let alone traumatic, and all these people roughly under age 35 who claim they take psychic damage from phone calls need to toughen up.

"If you suffer a form of anxiety I find silly, suck it up" IS an unpopular opinion. It's also nonsense.

Also thanks for the good wishes folks. Hope that whichever person bought the AV is working on better burns.

Oh good it's this opinion again. Other people aren't you goofus. Sometimes people can find poo poo traumatic even if you wouldn't.

We can all afford to be kinder to each other and try to be more understanding. Going "ehhh your making it up" is nonsense and performative cruelty used only by shitheads.

I do appreciate when someone tries to schedule a phone call with me beforehand

Actual phone conversations are nice but I don't think modern life has room for random conversations throughout the day

A company calling can suck my Google call screen

people talk themselves into believing all kinds of nonsense. thinking phonecalls in and of themselves are traumatic is silly

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
It's wild to remember that there were multiple people who would just call me and talk to me for hours all after like 11:00 PM Arizona time.

Nonsense like "why can't you speak proper is a correct response to people with a stutter" and "my thoughts warrant recording"?

Anxiety exists and can match up with lots of things that we personally don't find worrying.

What people are saying, most of the time, when they talk about the trauma of making phone calls is how anxious it makes them.

Trauma can come from lots of different things and it'd be better if we accommodated that instead of just declaring "that is not traumatic".

youve clearly never had to deal with a "me me me" narcissist because they love it when reality can just be whatever you decide it is and anything can be declared traumatic

NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN :black101:
I hate talking on the phone cuz my brain kinda wigs out trying to figure out what ppl are saying without all the extra info of facial expressions and body language. Most of the time it's not an issue but it requires a lot of concentration. If the line is bad forget it

I mean I can't say I have. Most of the time I think people are trying their best. Most people are.

I don't mind them. But it could be tricky. Same way that some people have difficulty dealing with other lovely things that happen to them. It doesn't hurt anyone to be kinder.

Yeah, those crazy narcissists who don't believe any experiences other than theirs can possibly be real, what a pain those people must be.

Cocktail sauce is under utilized as a condiment. Not only is it great with pretty much anything fried, but it’s also great on burgers, hot dogs, chicken, etc.

The secret is to put all the horseradish in when you make it. It should be a vaguely pink chunky spread.

I genuinely can't imagine your motivation for this. Malls, especially busy malls, are always loud so the noise isn't an issue. Malls have really big walking areas so it's not hard to avoid tripping over strange kids. Do you want to drink? Is that the idea, that if minors won't allowed you could get a cocktail at the food court and sip it as you window shop?

I work at a mall, one the largest and busiest malls in the United States, and I am tired of hearing children scream. One guaranteed day of no children screaming would be nice
