      Same. I used the phone before there were other options, but I always hated it. I don’t like being able to hear someone but not see them. It gives me anxiety.

      How did you make plans with friends before cell phones? You never talked with a boyfriend or girlfriend for hours on a landline?

        Most likely I’d make plans face to face. I have spent too many hours on the phone with loved ones, but that’s usually planned or expected. I don’t like picking up the phone if I don’t know who it is, and even then I’d often rather avoid. Just send me a message please instead.

        I would just talk with my best friend who lived like 3 houses down for hours about nothing. And we would do dumb shit like play Mary had a little lamb with the touch tones, or play songs from our radios to each other lol
