    i mean - yea, that’s phone calls - but i feel that people know that calls are kinda shid, besides when ur talking to a close and reasonable person.

    i hav kinda grown on it ever since i started calling a fren during work for multiple hours. it was fun and not problematic at all…

    but yes, calling other peeps is very uncomf.

      Oh, agreed, it very much depends on the interlocutor. I was mainly thinking of an average phone call, but I’ve had people with whom I used to spend hours upon hours just chatting over the phone or, as you’ve said, voice chatting during work.

      But that, to me, requires a high degree of familiarity, to the point where I don’t need to think about what they meant when they said that in that particular way, because I already know their “tropes,” so to speak.

          It all started with my grade school Civics teacher… :)) Partly kidding, long story short, it’s a combination of not caring about updoots and not liking to vote for myself:))
