But I was also reluctant about returning work calls, too... sometimes those were the most difficult, especially if I didn't know the caller. In the newspaper business, that usually means something ugly.

I suppose this is why we don't talk on the phone very often? I like to get phone calls, but I hate it when I have to call people. I am exactly the same as your #6.
