Does anyone else hate FaceTime?

Sensory Advice

I don’t know if the flair I chose is accurate. I perceive my strong dislike of FaceTime as a sensory issue that triggers discomfort in me. I do not like holding my phone up to my face or sitting in front of a computer talking to friends or family. It is okay when I have a Zoom call for work or a therapy appointment. But it feels different with friends and family. It feels so personal yet so impersonal. I feel deeply uncomfortable with FaceTime. I often try to hide the little screen that shows my face so I’m not as self-conscious. The way I feel about FaceTime sometimes interferes with my ability to stay connected with my long-distance friends. I will not initiate a FaceTime call even though they like to.
