How may phone calls did you get today

[liptono]

I'm a single mom with young kids. DH completely off the scene so when I'm not working it's full on with the kids. Feel so lonely sometimes and just want to talk with an adult. It struck me today how few people make contact with me. It's always me who rings them to have a chat. Same goes for family, nobody seems that bothered

None. I got rid of my landline because the only people who called were cold callers and, at the end of every month, my mobile minutes are in tact.

Thank you for replying at least I'm not on my own. I see my sister at her home and her mobile is constantly ringing. Friends just ringing for a chat.

I do not get any calls. Talk about your feelings on here? We're all a supportive bunch. Giving you lots of hugs

None here either!! I think your sister is quite unusual

Nobody rings me.

Only my husband calls me! I remember the good old days when I used to chat to my friends for hours on the phone. It's all been replaced by text messages/whatsapp/Facebook etc.

I think your sister is quite unusual too.
There was a message on my answerphone this morning, as it happens, from my 85 yr old friends who recently moved to a nursing home, and she does ring me occasionally, but apart from that the only calls I get are from my Aunt (also in her 80s) once a month or so, and then occasionally people usually my dc who need an answer immediately about something whilst they are out.
The only people I chat to on the phone are the two ladies who are in their 80s.
Oh, and I like to chat, but do it face to face rather than on the phone.

No phone calls here. I don’t appear to use my phone for that purpose.

Hate phone calls. Never make them socially and only one who really calls me outside of work is my mother. I message people, they message me.

Two texts in three weeks, no calls & no chats at all. I'm not exaggerating, I promise! I used to feel ashamed, but so many of us in the same boat. Have old friends that will, say, message every few months, who live in other parts of the country. Just don't have friends who I see or can meet up with anymore. Sometimes it's really tough going.

Nope, no phone cals. One flurry of WhatsApp messages from a good friend and that’s all.

Two. One was DC asking for a lift back from a party they'd stayed over at.
The other was a colleague who had some good news on a project we worked on.
I get a call from a friend about once a week, tops, and from family maybe once every three-four weeks.

No body rings me, lucky if I get a text and the only email I get is when I book my online shop

None.
I'm a LP and chatty friend phone calls stopped around 8 years ago when DD stopped sleeping. I speak to my mum to sort out various things. But no social life or adult interaction 🤷‍♀️.

Only one and that was work. No social calls ever nowadays. I used to love chatting on the phone.

No one calls me. As it’s now half term I wouldn’t see another adult unless I arranged something. I’m the only one in my friendship group who is single, so the other women don’t really notice I don’t talk to an adult at home as they have their husbands to talk to. I am self employed but I make sure I get to all the school class year coffee mornings or social gatherings because otherwise the only adult I may speak to is the checkout person at the market. I’ve learned I’ve got to put myself out there and initiate things. For example we’ve talked about getting together for lunch this week, but I’ll be the one texting people, coordinating diaries, booking the restaurant. Otherwise no one would bother. They have a social life built into their families, I don’t.

I have a friend who calls every couple couple of months for a big catch up, my brother calls halfway through messaging because he can’t be bothered with typing as much as he wants to say - same with another friend , sometimes one of my DDs will call/FaceTime but generally my interactions are mostly messaging - more frequent, less detail.

I've had two texts and 1 phone call today off my 13 year old daughter. One text asking if I can collect her new phone case. I said no problem I'll get your phone case and we can go for a quick cuppa tea together to which she said no thanks I'm lying on my bed watching TV.
I've just had a phone call from her demanding I collect the phone case this evening as she "needs it"!!!!! . I'm struggling with her at the moment. I've gone from being a good dad to not being part of her life in 10 months.

The only people who ever phone me just for a chat are my mum and boyfriend. Literally everyone else uses WhatsApp to keep in contact.

I'm a single mum too and I have friends I see at my hobby but I've never managed to expand that into socialising outside of that. I've got 5 days coming up when I'll be child free and absolutely nothing planned. I try to plan but people are booked up, then if I try to plan further ahead they tell me they can't confirm until nearer the time. I feel like life is passing me by and that if I didn't constantly reach out to people via WhatsApp or social media I could be dead for days before anyone missed me.

No calls today, 6 yesterday and 7 the day before but none from a friend wanting a chat!

2 calls, both pocket dials from the same person. I never get calls - occasionally exH (re kids) or DP if they need a quick answer. Mostly WhatsApp these days.

The only call I have had was from a Rotherham number which I rejected as no idea who
It was.

No one calls me ever, no one messages me other than my children, my mum is in a care home so can't even speak to her. My dad is arranging his wedding for next year and that takes up ALL his time.
So tonight it is just me, again, as kids are with their dad.

One call from dh, to let me know he'll be late home from work.
Apart from him, I don't think I've spoken to another adult in a fortnight or so maybe?
No friends, family is a bit shite.
I spoke to the checkout lady at Tesco the other day, and the dpd driver...
