why does talking on the phone feel like a chore to me
Im not a big texter either because I feel its only good for a quick update with friends or some light quick jokes and memes and links to share.
But I feel like phone is the best way to communicate with friends, but recently it just been feeling like a chore.
I used to be able to talk to my friends and they like to talk for long like 3 hours at a time and one of my freinds just likes to stay on the phone even if we are not talking.
But these past few months I find myself not like talking on the phone at all. Is this just a burn out? I dread when my freinds call me and sometimes I try to push through and answer but the first 15 minutes I feel like my brain is working hard trying to come up with things to say and trying to also sound nice and entertaining because sometimes I feel like Im a source of their entertainment.
Another one of my male freinds likes to have deep conversations that requires me to think hard and sometimes I just dont feel like thinking.
I just want to watch something where my mind can just listen and relax on my friend time.
The weird part is I don't have a lot of friends and I do get lonely and I am afraid of losing freinds because I havent been answering but I guess im not desperate enough to force myself to have a conversation.
Im 35 if that matteres maybe its because im getting older even though I'm from the generation that connects more with phone conversations than text.
Or maybe its just because all my freinds and even my cousin and brother like to talk on phone for 3 hours at least when we talk.
