"I just don't like phone calls because people can bother me whenever they want."
In a way, it's a valid point. I get annoyed if my phone rings while I'm in the middle of the pset. I get annoyed sometimes when someone I haven't heard from in a while texts asking for help.
But on the other hand, it's a blessing to be bothered. It means people trust you, that they want your help, and that they believe you're there for them. Most of the time it's not that they think you're at their beck and call, but just that they know you'll be there to help if they ever need it.
It's special being trusted. And honestly, I sort of miss phone calls. Texting gives way to multi-tasking and not really paying attention to the conversation (not that calls don't also have that problem, but a 15 minutes lull in texting is generally acceptable whereas a silence of that period on the phone would be... awkward).
Phone calls seem a bit dead - they don't come around much unless it's for business or from parents. It's a bit of a shame, really.
