Exactly. Call me when the house is burning, or you’re bleeding out and I’m the only emergency person in the building. Otherwise, text me.
I have a similar aversion against using email as chat, but for the exact opposite reason.

I hear you. I’ve been called a “loner” and “different” my whole life. Sometimes people called me a “rebel” and a “troublemaker”. Turns out I’m autistic. Yay me.
And society at large likes to play by rules made up and enforced by itself. Us autistic people aren’t included in those. And thus we wind up trying really hard to play by the rules, only to find out others don’t… and they don’t face any consequences.
If the rules exist to keep me in check, but everyone else gets to roam free, it isn’t personal responsibility. Instead, it’s a failure of society at large to recognize us and accommodate us equally and fairly.
And… that’s why I’m into politics.
Yep, I suffer this. It’s annoying. Like, I already have a short temper, why does it have to get worse?
Yes, I do that. Works quite well.
I hate that dyslectics’ font, though. I understand its intent but I have such a hard time reading it.
