How many people have avoid a friend's phone call? Did you ever decide to call them back but forgot or just totally never plan to call them back? Was there a reason why you avoided them in the first place? Did they piss you off; how often do you do this? Any emotional reason to it? No need to answer all the questions just wanted to know why do you ignore your friends phone calls or avoid them.

I've avoided people on Aim and Facebook people. But that is just because I'm playing a game or stepped away from the computer and came back not realizing what happened. And then continue on my way.

I seldom ignore phone calls from my friend considering I am not that always being called. There are situations where I really want to do that but I still pick up the phone. I am the kind of people that when I am focused on something, I hate being disturbed. As long as I am not really into something, I can be very easy going and very willing to answer to others. On the other hand, if I am focused, either on something serious as doing my job or as meaningless as watching a TV show, I cannot stand the annoyance of being disturbed. But then, others calling me couldn't possibly know whether I am into something or not and therefore they don't disturb me on purpose. That's why I still pick up the phone even though I am so annoyed.

Yeah, I catch myself doing that most of the time. If I am doing something I am usually either missing the phone call from distractions. But if I receive a phone call while i'm frustrated I still will pick up a buddies call just because I don't see why I should take it out on him. Since, my frustration probably sparked before he even knew about it. You a good person!

I have avoided friends' call for some emotional reasons. But I would promise I myself that I would call them back. Sometimes, I do. Other times, it just slips my mind. I would be so wrapped up in my own problems. When I do answer their calls, they usually want to talk about their problems, the same old problem that should've been resolved a long time ago. I get tired of them asking for solutions or advice they will not accept. I felt as if though it was just a waste of valuable time. All they want is to be pampered. They do not want to hear the truth. So,yes, I get highly pissed because they really get on my nerves. I'm getting better with the situation now. Lately, before I answer my friends' call, I inhale and exhale. I try to stay calm. I try to stick by my friends no matter what. Being there when they need me even if it pisses me off again. need me the most. And most importantly, I do not have to get caught up in their situations or let their problems affect me so much.
