Notes on almost never texting and just calling:
- Would be cool to make like an actual graphic or chart with all the info, but don't even really know how to do that, or take the time.
- 9.5/10 will get a response in text, with almost no qualifiers.
- A call is much much more harder to put into a percentage, with almost anybody. The results are wildly inconsistent and all over the place, without like a real analysis, almost impossible to parse.
-That probably points to how much phone calls have changed as a form of communication, and just in general how people communicate in a very conditional way.
-Think a lot of people reserve phone calls for only the most urgent and most important people to them at the moment
-Huge connection between phone calls and anxiety.
- It's not that I can't text or don't ever text, but increasingly, I feel like a p*ssy doing it, that's the truth. And I can be super direct on text and in person, but the going back and forth, not getting the answer you want, or not even having the conversation you want. But getting a response. And that keeps it all going.
- Just one example, one girlfriend of mine, we have known each other for 10 years, we had plans to see Nosfreatu, if I text, she'll answer, and just defer, or give me some placeholder answer. I'll let you know, Maybe Thursday. Who knows if there is some other reason, we aren't dating, we aren't sleeping together, it's not even a big thing at all. She could 100% just tell me.
- Between people's natural avoidance, and the medium, and whatever the context is, it's like stepping into quicksand, you never get out.
-That's probably something of the equation above.
