The ultimate trick if you are an introvert and you get a spontaneous call

Don't call me. What time do we live in that people call each other? Send me a message or a DM or even an email, go ahead, but you certainly don't have to ask me anything via the old-fashioned phone line.

I don't know if this is recognizable, but I just don't like the awkwardness of a phone call. The silences, the ‘haha's’ and ‘jaja's’ mixed together. Not even with girlfriends. We are messengers. Then we can also laugh out loud, for sure. Top-notch humor. Maybe this trait is a bit introverted of me. I'm fine with that, but how do you, as an introvert, get out of all that calling? Because sometimes a colleague calls, a manager, a girlfriend, a mother, a sister... And how do you wriggle yourself out of such a difficult situation? Well, it's simple: with this ultimate trick.

You pick up and immediately say, as the first thing: ‘Hiiii, hey! I have almost no battery left but tell me! How are you?’ Then you can decide at any moment that you've had enough and that you'd rather hang up. You can hang up right away with this excuse, without having to awkwardly stammer or stutter. You're welcome, introverts.
