Im going to rant a tad bit, but i could use some advice.

I cant really get a job because i cant drive and there are no buses (not like i could afford a bus anyways). I also have to stay at home with family because they have health issues and im paranoid. I want to be self employed but honestly im not sure. IM not even sure what i could do for self employed sense im broke and a young adult. I would likely be better off with a job but i cant go out and get one. Its like i want a hobby but everything i want to do requires money or something of that nature.

It gets easier to talk on the phone with people when you realize they probably don't want to talk with you, either. You're going to run into assholes, sure. People call you when they have an issue, and not everyone handles issues well. But a big part of call centers is people calling when they have a problem. Help, be cordial, then they go away.

If they don't want to talk with me it makes it even worse lol I also have big difficulties understanding what people say with voice without seeing them in person

What about a text chat, then? I understand that sentiment, though. Watching TV anymore, it's odd without subtitles. They either talk too low or the sound and effects are too high, or some combination. Plus, I love reading the stupid subtitles that get put in, ones that make no sense.

The thing is that text chats I can read as many times as I want and with phone call there is no such option, especially when people talk fast and there is some noise around it becomes almost impossible. I am slow text chatter too tho 😁 I would rather communicate by letters with everyone
