Texting! 4th house Sun and stellium making me introverted. Mercury RX in 3rd communication is the easiest for me in writing as it gives me time to put my thoughts and words together perfectly.

I prefer talking on the phone most of the time. Texting doesn't really give you insight into a person's emotional state and is rife with misunderstanding. Aquarius Sun, moon and mars in the 3rd house. IP: Logged |

That is so true some things are a nightmare to do via texting so calling is a must.

Even my grand parents learned to text me because they just know that I may very well not answer with a call My phone is thousands of miles away from me most of the times and I won't hear it ringing, while I receive texts directly on my computer I'm also more at ease to express myself through writing, even if it's a text.Still working on a way to receive calls on computer too without having to pay a dim I'm gemini, for those who don't know yet with a retrograde mercury in cancer IP: Logged |

TEXTING and EMAIL over Phone call any day. I prefer phone calls only with family or really close friends. Even with them, I still don't like calling as much. I feel like I communicate better in written format as I tend to stutter or forget what to say next. And with the text I can kind of monitor what I am saying before it gets to the other person. With the phone, I can't take back what is already said so I'm extra careful in how I phrase my thoughts and that usually leads to moments of awkward silence and stuttering. lol.But best of all, is talking in person face to face. That is my favorite. Sun Virgo, Mercury in Libra Mars in 3rd house IP: Logged |

Neither. I want face to face lol. At least skype with cam if physical face to face is impossible. But if I really have to choose, I'll choose talking over the phone. Ugh texting takes too long. And no voice, no facial expression. Cap sun, moon in the 3rd house. In conversations I like immediate "responses" - when it's face to face, I can see the impact. I can see how they process the answers and whatnot. I can have an easier time seeing/feeling/sniffing out moods changes and shifts. Non verbal cues. Texting makes things more difficult. IP: Logged |

For anything that requires more than 2 replies, talk.Talk>Text>Email>IM... >>>FB>tweet And what is up with every person having a different app that does the same thing. Am I really supposed to download and create accounts for all these different ways to text people? Probably has more to do with Pluto in Virgo than anything else... In other words, its generational.
