    This is something that idk if I’ll ever get used to about lemmy

    It’s a meme. It’s a joke. It’s deliberately blown out of proportion.

    Y’all need to calm tf down.

        No but the amount of people practically shitting themselves over someone’s social anxiety about phone calls is a little overdramatic.

          Gee, it sounds like you have no idea what it’s like to have a panic attack or anxiety attack.

                I’m literally making that same argument.

                People are freaking out because other people have social anxiety and don’t like phone calls and it’s pathetic

                  No… we are not on the same page. It is not “pathetic” to have phone anxiety.

            Hint: the phone call is not the problem.

              not sure what you’re talking about. My phone anxiety was always based around the phone and making phone calls.

      In my direct experience (albeit anecdotal) this is not simply a joke, but reality. So many of my colleagues have this fear, especially the younger ones, and with everyone demanding full remote it fucks my shit up real bad when they won’t even answer the damn phone.
