Certainly Perplexed
New member
awhile. Help, advice? Specifically family. I have lots of family spread over the United States and I don't speak to some as often as I should. I'm definitely not a phone person. I hate awkward silences, so I tend to either be rude and quickly, desperately say goodbye or I silently panic and think of anything to start a conversation but then I feel stupid after for gabbing about random, insufficient things.
Can I somehow hint that I don't enjoy talking on the phone or could someone suggest a short conversation starter? It'd be with people I haven't talked to in awhile, so I can't just ask "How was your day", without feeling stupid.
Advice, similar stories...HELP in general? Thank you.
