If could have only one thing texting or calling would you be able to chose? Though I think there is a argument for both I personally would chose texting over calling. I think reasons why are that I am introverted and don’t like to talk to people as I lose lots of energy where, plus the fact that I find text easier to use in general. When I think about text vs call I would chose text because its less draining to me as an introvert and I also find texting a easier way to talk to people.
First as a introvert, I lose more energy when talking to someone than just sending a text. Talking on the phone to someone I know may not have me losing much energy at all. Then when its someone I don’t know it sucks the life out of me. While texting to someone I know is no energy lost because I know them they know me and how I act as a person and I don’t have to put to much energy into it. Then again when I’m texting someone I don’t know I do lose energy from it because I have to watch what I say and make sure that I say nothing wrong. The good thing about calling as an introvert is that I will never really worry about did my text make since to the person since I can use tone to explain things.
While using calling to show emotions easier is true and can really help with emotional times. The use of texting is easier when trying to tell someone where you going or small things that don’t need calls. Text is also easier to use because you can erase what you say before saying it where calling is not the case. When you call someone you first have to say something to them in a good tone that does not sound rude. Then you have to react to what they say back to you with out a rude huh! or sigh. Finally when you have to make a quick respond back to them while watching out what you say and in what tone too! While texting you think something sounds rude boop gone oh thats seems fake lets delete that. Texting is easier to use when making plans and when talking because you can watch out what you say. Texting has really no draw backs to it and should become the new and improved way to talk about plans and when we should meet up.
When I think about texting vs. calling my answer will always be the same because the draw backs to texting is to small compared to calling. First as an introvert when texting I find that im losing less energy then when im calling someone. Then you have the using of texting being easier because you can really think out what you want to say. While calling you have think about something on the spot. This is why I think that texting should be the new and only way to talk calling should be left behind in 2024!
