On a lighter note, my friend put his phone on silent for a whole week because he thought it was broken. Turns out, he just needed to adjust the settings! Everyone needs a good laugh, right?
Haha, that’s hilarious! But really, these small oversights can lead to big problems. Let’s make sure we’re aware of our settings.
Thanks for all the input, everyone! I’ll definitely double-check my settings. It’s a hassle for sure, but sometimes a little tweaking can make a world of difference.
I totally get this! Sometimes, the pressure of picking up a call can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not in the right headspace. Have you considered how your environment affects your willingness to answer?
That’s true! I often find myself avoiding calls in social settings. It feels inappropriate to answer when I’m supposed to be connecting with others.
Social anxiety can definitely play a role. I feel like everyone is judging me when I answer a call in public. It’s a strange feeling, but I know I’m not alone in this.
So true! I always hesitate if I hear my phone ring in a quiet place. Do you think this is a generational thing?
It might be! The rise of texts and DMs has changed how we communicate. People are more comfortable texting rather than answering calls, which can create a bit of anxiety when the phone rings.

Exactly! It makes me feel ill-prepared. I worry about what to say or how they’ll react if I can’t answer their questions right away.
I think it’s also about the unexpected nature of phone calls. You can’t prepare like you can for a text! Plus, there are times when answering might not be appropriate, like during a meeting.

True! Plus, if I’m not in a good mood or already stressed, the last thing I want is a surprise call.

Maybe we should embrace the unpredictability instead of fearing it? A surprise call could bring something exciting or new, like an opportunity to connect! Just a thought.
Oh, that’s a risky game! What if it’s bad news? I prefer to have my guard up; it feels safer that way.
Haha, very true, wgreer! But who knows? Maybe that bad news could lead you to something positive later on! It’s all about perspective.
