There’s a very specific kind of dread that kicks in the second a phone rings instead of buzzes, the full body recoil of realizing someone wants to talk in real time with no delay. I’ve let calls go to voicemail from my own mother out of pure reflex, not malice, just a deep instinctive need to gather myself first. Texting back is manageable. A call requires preparation, maybe a small pep talk, possibly a moment alone to remember how words work.

I can’t help it. It’s the way I am and the world we’re living in. Canceled plans feel like winning the lottery, five minutes of socializing that somehow leads to more invitations. It’s all here.
