Shocking that people can't use a phone because another human is on the other end.
Shocking that people can’t recognize their experience isn’t universal
Experience? What .. talking on a phone isn't some difficult skill. It's talking without looking at someone. If you have issue talking to other humans, then figure it out lose out on whatever. Kinda pathetic in all honesty
You're just proving their point. What's easy and effortless for you may not be for everyone. You think people with social anxiety don't understand its supposed to be easy to make a fuckin phone call?
Well, you're clearly not very socialized, so I guess uou do stand as the expert.
Ok? What a pointless reply..
You're getting ratio'd, and exactly nobody is on your side because you're just being an asshole. Kindly STFU.
Trolls piss strangers off on purpose to ease the pain of failing their loved ones
I'm getting ratio'd. cool, I guess? I never asked for people to be on my side...so..yeah. what's your point anyways?
I absolutely hate talking to people on the phone. I'll do it, but I'll exhaust every other option first. And I don't consider myself as having "social anxiety," I just really, really hate it.
Big difference there with disliking it and having a breakdown because you might actually have to use a phone.
True, but I totally understand the breakdown.
This is mental illness we're talking about here. Do people with this problem know something is wrong with them? Obviously
You're on a site where people were seriously discussing swallowing pills being a difficult skill they had to learn lol
Tbf I can't swallow pills. I have to actually force em in my throat like a whore on zyban. Tongue won't cooperate but I don't let that stop me from accomplishing my goals
You're probably one of those people that says depression doesn't exist because you've never felt it.
Yeah...totally. thankfully I can call suicide hotlines to seek help if it happens.
