Roxi Horror ππΈI don't know if anyone else gets anxious about phone calls but a little tip I've learned is: if there is a phone call that I don't want to make, before I start dialing the number, I carefully hold the phone in my hand & toss it gently into a lake. I hope this advice helps others.

@itmegreggy wow, double verified now, love that for you
@roxiqt the ceo, kenneth mastodon, said i was the most important and handsome person to use the app so I got double verified
@itmegreggy I fully believe this tbh
Sam@roxiqt What happens if a mysterious lady brings it back from the depths, though?
Manc AvGeekStrange women lying in ponds distributing phones is no basis for a system of governmentβ¦
B4dw0lf@therewithal @roxiqt I think that makes you the once and future king?
sara@roxiqt this was helpful, thank you

Joe Average@roxiqt instructions unclear, now in long-distance relationship with Aquaman
@JoeAverage there are worse fates
Brutus Belfast@JoeAverage @roxiqt Fun fact! Jason Momoa (my favorite Aquaman) grew up in Iowa. This begs the question. Can Aquaman control fresh water fish or only oceanic life?
atomicwrites@roxiqt Getting a call and knowing it's someone who's going to ask you to do something you don't want to do is the worst.
Devon Ellington@roxiqt My kind of solution regarding phone.
Jane A.@roxiqt
Thank you, making a note of this, so I don't forget.

@roxiqt Great advice! I'm just happy to know I'm not the only one who has a phone but doesn't want to use it to make or receive calls.
Robin Shipton@roxiqt I have found that it's easier to just place it in the dishwasher, so I don't have to travel.
SuperMoosie@BeeatPeace @roxiqt
I am the dishwasher, so that doesn't work for me. Also phones are getting more water proof, so a dip in the sink still leaves it ringing.
I find the microwave works well, and also adds a bit more excitement.
Solent43@roxiqt at last I know Iβm not alone. I thought I was the only one with that phobia. 40 years in business & hated it every time I had to do it.
Michael sokolov@roxiqt always keep a lake handy

@roxiqt what do I do if I get anxiety in public? Will throwing myself into a lake help? Please advise.

@roxiqt Holy, shit! I've been doing it wrong this whole time!
LINDER@roxiqt RIGHT! Why do people continue to call me when I never pick up!
Noel@roxiqt πππππ
Rob Drew@roxiqt does this work for older folks anxious abt tweeting tooting etc.?
Schroedinger@roxiqt Good move. I hate making phone calls.
amy "fembot" bones@roxiqt oh thank u. This helped me a ton;

stevenheywood@roxiqt I wish I'd learned this years ago

Kris007tine@roxiqt Best advise everπ.
[MESSAGE ME TO FOLLOW] green@roxiqt oh hey this is very good advice to remember! we even have a handy pond almost next door--it's not quite a lake but it's got a year-round population of bullfrogs and carp, so it's deep enough for a phone! :D
Rachel Maria@roxiqt that would be an expensive habit. I suggest turning it off or leaving it at home. Be bold #gophonefree π
Mark R. Cheathem@roxiqt Same, honestly.

Taranasus@roxiqt do you like keep a suitcase filled with phones on you at all times?
@taranasus someone has to
After The Snap Movies & TV@roxiqt I don't know why I never thought of this!

@roxiqt
I dread making phone calls, so I look forward making use of this great advice!

Oh, yes, very phone-averse here. I figured out why: the device up against my ear literally puts a stranger in my personal space. During pandemic work-from- home, I had an app for work calls & was much more comfortable talking to people on my laptop 18" away.

Ryan β¨ Pavlik@roxiqt oh I was hopefully this was going to be an actual tip π€¦ π€£
ladyteruki@roxiqt : in 2020 my phone broke and I didn't have the money to buy a new one for almost 10 months. That was also incredibly effective.
Looking for explanationsβ¦@roxiqt This could get a little expensive?
Wodge@roxiqt that works for so many troublesome anxiety-producing events.
Mikael Febrianto@roxiqt Good advice thx
Kayla Anderson@roxiqt Perfect advice. Will do this before my next work meeting. π
