I think that's the key word right there, boundaries! And I understand what you're saying and where you're coming from Katya, I mean for some reason the way you talk it and say things just reminds me a little bit of Martha Stewart. She says exactly what she's thinking and she doesn't beat around the bush. I mean sometimes I'm sure people probably take her the wrong way but she means well.

Gosh, I really wish we could reply to people’s comment directly, but I love this person’s comment Pumpkin spies. I don’t even know what the rest of your username is but thanks for this.

I think it's someone knows your personality, I don't think being introvert has anything to do with it, but I think it's someone is very familiar with you and know your personality and you have expressed that you don't like spontaneous phone calls, I think this is OK. But I have a question, how are you going to set up a phone call with the person? I'm talking about somebody that you know. Like a friend. Do you want them to text you and ask are you available? But if it's someone that you're not familiar with, I mean obviously someone who needs or wants to contact you about something but just not a close friend, how are they supposed to know? I really don't think you should get mad at them for calling spontaneously. Don't pick up the phone. It's very very very very simple. Do not pick up the phone and let it go to voicemail. When you're ready, you check your voicemail, and then when you're ready even more, you return that person's phone call or you don't return that person's phone call. I just think it's weird to kind of get mad at them for not respecting your space, how are they supposed to know??? I am not an introvert. But I'm not a fan of spontaneous phone calls either. But it doesn't bother me that people call. If I want to talk, I'll pick up. If I don't want to talk or if I'm busy, I just don't pick up, real simple.

Having said all that though, of course I respect that it’s a person‘s prerogative to handle these situations as they see fit.

Why do (especially) blind people insist on spontaneous phone calls? Maybe I’m busy. Maybe (equally likely) I’m introverted and thus need time to prepare. Maybe this is my (boundaried) downtime. Maybe I’m relaxed, buzzed, or otherwise indisposed. In any case, for me, unless it is house-on-fire urgent, SMS (audio or text) is best, followed by e-mail and, as a last resort, a phone call. At the very least, message me first to ask me if I can take your call right now. I’m sure I’m not the only blind person who is not always at the ready to take your phone call whenever you decide to make it… #JustSayin
