Why do NT's NEED to be on the phone 24/7?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't notice NTs on the phone that much. They get on the phone, then go off and do stuff with people in person. It's like the only reasons they get on the phone is to tell someone they want to go eat lunch with them or come over or go to a movie or something work related. I would rather talk on the phone and never have to actually meet someone. I have spent more time on the phone than any NT I have ever known. The phone is my buffer.

I hate them. Destroy them all in a fiery explosion!! !! I'll probably get cancer from the radiation they emit, and it will be all everybody else's fault!!

I can stand cell phones, but why to hell most people must call instead send a message???? I hate talking.

Example: I send a message to one girl from school:
1. We have to do ........ 2. See the details on the mail 3. DON'T CALL
She ofc called. Hey, Valoy, so we have to do... I "love" how they think!

Depends on what country you are in.

In Australia, we don't generally use the expression "cell phone", we call them all "mobiles" - short for "mobile phone". In Germany, they are called a "Handy". I think "cell phone" is a North American expression, although I am not certain about that.

I never had a mobile/cell phone until 2 years ago, and even now I might make one or two calls a month. I rarely even remember to switch it on, unless there is a family outing and I need to know where other members of the family are (e.g. we go to the shopping mall, and I hang out in the DVD store or the computer store while they shop for clothes). Generally I avoid telephones and use them - mobiles or landlines - as rarely as possible.

A terrorist planted a bomb in their heads that explodes if the dB level entering their ear goes below 50.

I never understood a lot of phone etiquette. I never say "hello" or "goodbye." I say, "yep" to answer and just hang up when the conversation is done. My typical cell phone conversation is 15 seconds once or twice a day...just long enough to take care of whatever business needs to be taken care of. Only a dozen people know my phone number and I never give it out unless someone absolutely needs it. And I don't text at all.

NTs are on the phone a lot, but it doesn't seem like they're always talking. The new trend seems to be texting, NTs are constantly texting each other. It can get annoying sometimes, to see them always texting each other, while I rarely ever text. However, I actually do like texting sometimes, it's a good way to get some quick info without having to call anyone, which as others have previously stated I can't stand talking on the phone either sometimes. The only people I really enjoy talking on the phone to are my parents, I'm in college now & I don't get to see them that much, so it's a nice way to talk to them. Another thing I've noticed about NTs is that some of them just can't stand being alone. They need people around them all the time & can't even go for a walk or go to the bathroom by themselves. I feel sorry for some of them. Now, I don't mean to bash all NTs in this post, some NTs can be very nice, but it's true that some of them are quite superficial, especially when in comes to friendships. They have a ton of friends, but aren't close to them. It's very sad. Sorry, if it sounds like I'm bashing NTs too much, but that's how I feel about some of them.

I recently observed a conversation between two guys I work with about how they both text while in the shower. I was flabbergasted. So insane.

My mom got me a cell phone in 2003 after I got stranded far from home and had to find a way to pay for a pay phone call for my parents to come and get me. I've had one ever since. I use it mainly to talk to my mom, since I have no friends. Once my business gets started again people will be calling me on the cell phone. I never thought I'd never have a land line, but I dropped it earlier this year after every single number I chose had several deadbeat debtors attached to it, and I was constantly getting abusive calls for people I'd never heard of. I had a number for years, and the debt collectors had stopped. All of a sudden one Monday I got 12 calls for the number's former owner, who I never met. She was even using my last name! So I dropped that number and got another one, several times. The phone company finally told me they were out of numbers for my line, so I canceled it.

good god, that was a great f*****g rant. its like you took the words out of my head. i work in retail and i will love the day when the company has the balls to put up a sign saying "please end your conversation before checking out". so many f*****g times a day, old people, young people, middle age soccer moms answer their god damn phones when im trying to talk to them. its f*****g rude. wait 5 minutes and call the person back after you are done with your important purchase. Its called being a courteous self aware nonselfish human being. like i always said, 10 years ago, no one gave a flying f**k about your status, or where you are checking in, or what time you will be there. If you were late because of an accident, you dealt with it and didnt have to f*****g tell someone immediately you are stuck in traffic. But no humans have become so f*****g dependent on this flashy texty social statusy talk BS. You are not that f*****g busy nor important either because you have a phone glued to your f*****g hand or ear. But try to tell that to anyone really, and all you will get is blank stares and a wide eyed look as they quickly grab their phone to update their statuses in some cute vague 420 character manner to their 500 f*****g friends who are doing the exact same thing at the exact same time. f**k THAT s**t! smartphones do not make you smart, it makes you a self involved egotistical shallow unable to hold any conversation in person because it takes more than 420 characters!

oh yeah, majority of NTS are sheep. always have been, always will be.

They operated as 'cells' off local carrier towers. They were exactly the same thing that you carry in your pocket now, just larger. 'Mobile' only means you can take it with you. Po tay toe, po tot oh.

I'm not NT, but I would spend alot of time on the phone in my teen years and still kinda do now, depending on who I'm talking to, mainly friends. I doubted it was an NT thing, but more of a girl thing, though a few guy friends wouldn't mind it either.

I never really understood that, either. I used to have an old friend who is no longer a friend call me 10 times a day. I picked up the phone, as well. I was actually relieved when she told me not to phone her, anymore. She hasn't phoned me since than and I haven't talked to her, either. That's what she gets for brushing me off.
