2. I really don't like talking on the phone much any more

Back in junior high and high school, I was on the phone all the time. I would see my friends all day in school and still talk to them an hour on the phone after school. What the hell was there to talk about that much? Nowadays when the phone rings, I look at the caller ID and answer it if I feel like it, which most of the time, I don't. I do answer what little family I have left whenever they call but I am more selective with everybody else. And I never answer numbers I don't know or that say Unknown Caller or Anonymous Caller.
