Nobody is actually this terrified of a phone call right? Besides the usual social anxiety anyway.

My father's phone doesn't even have internet, hell, they barely built a computer that could beat Nazi encryption back when he was born, he didn't even see his first computer in person until he was what, 50?

He struggles at testing, no way could he navigate a modern phone haha. So, phone calls are normal for us :-)

I'm not NT so I like having the freedom and time to cook up good responses to texts that I can't make on the spot in a call.

(Btw not saying that NT people can do that easily but they seem to always be able to think quick on their feet socially speaking)

What is NT?

The only NT I know is Windows NT (I'm old)

Im just gonna copy paste because I don't think I can summarize it better:

The word “neurotypical” is an informal term used to describe a person whose brain functions are considered usual or expected by society. This term is often applied to people who do not have a developmental disorder like autism, differentiating them from those who do. It is neither a mental disorder nor even an official diagnostic term.
