I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed, but introverts hate being on the phone. One phone call or Facetime request is enough to get completely blacklisted for life from an introvert’s contact list– and that’s if they’re feeling kind. The only time an introvert’s phone should ring is when spam calls are coming in or their granny musters up gall to dial. Either way, we’re not answering.

I’d like to say that this falls under the ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ principle, but it’s 2023, perhaps we’re all the problem. Introverts have grown so accustomed to texting and so happy hiding behind their screens that their communication muscles lack the strength to maintain verbal convos. Whereas extroverts, in contrast, have become brazen in this digital era, thinking that constant connectivity means they should be constantly connecting with someone. 

Well, since we’re all wrong in this case, I suppose that leaves on lesson to be learned. Don’t use your phone for its intended purposes unless your granny is on the other line. Family first, phone etiquette later.
