you have more time to choose your words carefully over the phone

Because you’re able to stop and collect your thoughts for a moment, rephrase things without committing to one approach first, and double check what you say all in a very short span of time that isn’t afforded to you in person.

All to do with the time you have. When you’re typing you’ll think about what your saying and how you want to articulate In verbal it’s much more impulsive so cos our brains are running at 100mph you just wanna get any thing out haha
