I don’t stutter or fuck up my speech over a text.

Yes, blue shirt has a problem with making phone calls, but yellow shirt also has a problem with not leaving blue shirt alone to hide in their little safety zone!
I’v shifted from preferring texting/email to literally only ever making phone calls. Fuck email. Fuck friday email bombardment.
I hate answering calls. I lost my concentration when doing something.
YES I hate phone calls SO MUCH. If I had a nickel for every opportunity I missed out on because I had to make a phone call and I just froze up … well I wouldn’t be a millionaire but I’d probably have like $69 extra.
I’m all about using the right medium and besides the social awkwardness phone calls are usually a pretty bad medium for information transfer. They are prone to miscommunication and since they are ephemeral a lot of memory related issues after the fact.
Text on the other hand: nice paper trail, easily searchable if you forget, no accent/interference based miscommunication, less constant attention required…Just better overall most of the time.
