Ta da! Plenty of people whose opinions I respect also despise talking on the phone! I feel validated. Business related phone calls I can navigate pretty easily, mostly, I think, because they have a natural conclusion and formalities take away some of the pressure to be creative. I do not know how to end a personal phone call, which means that most of the conversations I have (yes, even with my very closest friends) dwindle into awkward silence until one or both of us makes up an excuse to get off the phone. Death to the telephone!
