Why though?

What is so hard about getting a call and talking to someone?

[–] Lag 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It gets easier the more you do it like most things.

[–] DV8 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Disagree. Part of my job entails calling people (and I even started at a phone helpdesk 20 years ago) and I still despise and loathe calling on the phone with people I don't know for making appointments or getting quotes. To the point it will probably impact my health since my dentist only takes appointments by phone. (Before my sister in law worked there so I could DM her to ask her directly)

Exposure doesn't always make it easier.

That sounds like you have a mental health problem.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 hours ago

Ahh yes, everyone who disagrees with you must be mentally ill. Get bent.

So, you agree that the statement that it gets easier with exposure is nonsense? Or do you mean to say that every one who disagree has mental health issues? Because you're talking about a decently large chunk of people here.
