You've written a lot here, and I don't have much time. My apologies, I will be terse: 1) I prefer text too and ongoing communication requires lots of this.
2) You should be able to call people over simple things.
3) You should have a work environment where calls are OK. I've solved to many problems with a phone in 10 minutes that others have spent a week playing email ping-pong with.
4) An initial conversation does have lasting effects, "First impressions count" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_impression_(psychology)
5) It's not about making people like you, it's about reducing misunderstandings. If you've got open prejudice then this could help to address even that.
6) While you may not learn about someone from a call, especially if you struggle to understand the emotional content of a call, but that doesn't mean they don't understand something about you which eases future communications with that person.
7) Tone setting is really valuable for some people who struggle with focus. |
