I only use the phone for business. I hate initating calls, and receiving them is not so good either.

This must be a trait I share with INTP's, because I really do not like to talk on the phone for long at all. I know I must annoy a lot of people with this behavior, like they think I do not care about them or something. I really prefer to keep phone conversations as short as possible.

Come to think of it though the only person who usually initiates hanging up before I do is my Dad who is INTP. Also the average phone conversation between me and another INTP friend of mine is at most 30 seconds (probably less). I see the phone as a means for efficient communication and not for socializing. This might just be an xNTP thing?
Yeah. I really hate talking on the phone and get antsy after the first few minutes. 15 minutes is an eternity! OP should be grateful she gets that much.

No. I can't stand it.

Everyone close to me including family, knows they had better not call me more than once every few months. Even then, keep it short. Otherwise, email or im me. I loathe the telephone and literally only have a cellphone in case I'm dying and need to call 911 to get my body.

:laugh: Lately I don't like answering e-mail, either. IM is ok, though.
