I am at my most eloquent when texting. Talk to me and I’m an idiot.
Nah. Text > in person >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> video call > audio call. I hate calls so much. With in person communication people can at least see that I don’t have time for them, and I can also see them coming. I also find it easier to keep my train of thought while talking in person.
Calls are like a random interruption of everything I’m doing and therefore catch me by complete surprise, causing stress. Usually it completely clears my working memory, meaning that I have to spend time and energy to get back to what I was doing.

Audio call is the worst actually.
Live communication and no face to interpret context. Absolutely the worst.
“hello are you still there?” While my mind is still processing the previous sentence.
There do exist conditions that will cause me to pick up the phone when you call and unless you meet them i wont even tell you what they are, just send an email or text instead.

Yeah agree
Text >>>>>> in person > video call >>> phone call
Would be my preferences.

Agreed. And phone calls have some horrible compression artifact that makes them unpleasant to hear.
