Telephobia: Rising Phone Anxiety in Younger Generations

Many young people feel anxious about answering the phone, a feeling called telephobia.

They often find phone calls interruptive and tiring, preferring texts or voice notes.

This might be because they feel like they need to be available all the time and don't have time to think.

Texting allows them to answer at their own pace.

To deal with this, people are setting boundaries, taking breaks, and communicating how and when they can respond.

This shift reflects how younger generations prefer communicating.
