This is something that idk if I'll ever get used to about lemmy

It's a meme. It's a joke. It's deliberately blown out of proportion.

Y'all need to calm tf down.

    No but the amount of people practically shitting themselves over someone's social anxiety about phone calls is a little overdramatic.

    Gee, it sounds like you have no idea what it's like to have a panic attack or anxiety attack.

    not sure what you're talking about. My phone anxiety was always based around the phone and making phone calls.

    I'm literally making that same argument.

    People are freaking out because other people have social anxiety and don't like phone calls and it's pathetic

    No.. we are not on the same page. It is not "pathetic" to have phone anxiety.

    When I first made the comment that started this whole chain the majority of the comments were calling people who act like that towards phone calls pathetic.

    No but the amount of people practically shitting themselves over someone’s social anxiety about phone calls is a little overdramatic.

    I see it now. My mind didn't auto correct the someone's to someone else's so it didn't read right to me.

    Lol i kinda enjoy the weirdly serious discussions about shitposts. Its both absurd and oddly insightful at times.

    Lemmys will follow any topic over the edge of a cliff :P

    In my direct experience (albeit anecdotal) this is not simply a joke, but reality. So many of my colleagues have this fear, especially the younger ones, and with everyone demanding full remote it fucks my shit up real bad when they won't even answer the damn phone.
