I hate voice only communication. It goes beyond the fact that this is what I do at work; I've hated it for a long, long time. I don't trust my voice, my use of it, or anyone else's reception of it to convey me. Some of this is almost certainly gender related, compounded by my own neurotic habit of selecting an "acceptable" option from the range of that which seems expected. I also get more easily flustered in voice only contexts, and don't respond honestly much of the time, but get caught in recursive reflections. Face to face is definitely preferred, but barring that, I'll take the written word; as much as I complain about it, I feel more confident there, more myself if writing to a person.

The question then becomes, am I willing to pay for this preference?
