Because its much harder to hide anxiety with phone calls. We use physical non-verbal cues to hide our feelings, which arent available on the phone, so its generally easier to tell what we’re really feeling.

Calling is also good because it’s less likely to be missed than email for most people. There have been times I’ve missed personal or important emails because they were drowned out by all the mailing lists and notification emails and various other things in my inbox.

And I know the same thing has happened to many of my friends my age.
Don’t use your real name. Whatever it is, Mr. Excellent is better.
Unless that is your real name. Or unless you’re a doctor.
