Picking up the phone to dial your best friend’s number for a long chat is definitely a thing of the past these days. In its place is texting, which is the world’s most popular form of communication. However, for those of us who can’t be bothered to type, the voice note is the ultimate way to connect without having to put in much effort. If you’re obsessed with having a conversation via voice notes, here’s what that says about you.
1. You’ve got a flair for chatting.
You have a way with words that goes beyond mere text. You know that your voice adds depth and nuance to your conversations, which makes them much more interesting and engaging. Sure, your sister or friend might be able to somewhat read your tone by the words you type, but hearing you actually relay a story in your own voice is so much better.
2. You’re a natural at reading the mood.
Your love of voice notes shows you’ve got a sixth sense for picking up on people’s emotions. Sure, you could send a funny meme to cheer someone up or a crying emoji to comfort them when they’re sad, but you know that a voice note shows much more sincerity and a real sense of connection. It shows that you’re attuned to how other people are feeling and want to connect on a deeper level.
3. You’re all about keeping it real.
No matter how good you are at texting, there are certain nuances you just can’t get across in typed words. Voice notes allow you to add a bit of flavor into the conversation and really share your unfiltered thoughts. Of course, that means you’re much more likely to say things off the cuff than you would be to type them since you’re flowing so naturally, which could be a good or bad thing, depending!
4. You’re a pro at juggling life.
You’re skilled at multitasking, fitting in social chats without missing a beat in your busy schedule. You might not be able to stop on the commute to work to type out a message, but you can hit ‘record’ and ramble away while you’re grabbing your morning coffee and heading into the office. Check you out!
5. You take the time to listen.
Voice note conversations mean that you really get a chance to hear people out. By sending audio messages back and forth, you can express yourself clearly and fully rather than trying to abbreviate your message to avoid huge walls of text. You might need to pop your headphones in or take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to listen to your best friend’s six-minute rant, but you’re here for that.
6. You love a good spontaneous chat.
Loving voice notes shows you’re all about marking the moment and not letting it pass you by. You know that spontaneous chats can lead to the most interesting conversations, especially when something crazy/weird/concerning happens and you can tell someone about it immediately rather than waiting until later.
7. You’re adventurous with your words.
Your conversational style suggests a whole lot of personality. You’re not one to stick to a script – you’d much rather let your thoughts flow freely rather than trying to constrain yourself to a few simple words. Voice notes give you the freedom to just let your thoughts flow uncensored, and hey, who knows where they might take you? You might start recording one story and then go off on multiple other tangents.
8. You’re a pro at making people feel at ease.
Sometimes face-to-face conversations can be awkward, especially when the topic you or the other person wants to talk about is sensitive. Using voice notes to broach these topics shows that you’re sensitive to the other person’s feelings and that you want to make sure you both get your thoughts and feelings across without feeling stressed or pressured.
9. You’re all about saving time.
You understand that time is precious and you use voice notes to save it as much as possible. It’s much quicker to say what’s on your mind than to type it out. Again, you can always send a voice memo on the go without having to slow down your already hectic day. This way, you keep people up to speed with what’s going on without letting communicating this slow you down.
10. You’re comfortable expressing your emotions.
You’re not shy about letting your emotions shine through your voice. Whether you’re excited, sad, or just plain tired, your choice of communication allows you to express these feelings more authentically. It’s like wearing your heart on your sleeve, but for your voice.
11. You enjoy the convenience.
Your love of voice notes shows you’re all about making things easy. You know that sending these snippets is a lot more convenient than typing out long messages, especially when you’re on the go. It’s like you’ve got your own personal assistant, helping you chat while you focus on other things.
12. You can think on your feet.
Your frequent use of voice notes shows that you’re quick to form thoughts and articulate them. It’s like your mind and mouth are in perfect sync, allowing you to respond to chats in real-time and keep the conversation flowing. You don’t need time to think about crafting the perfect words — you’re confident enough to just say what you’re thinking in the moment.
13. You’re a fan of the personal touch.
You know that your voice adds a unique touch to your messages that text can’t replicate. It’s almost like you’re there in person, sharing a laugh or lending a shoulder, which makes your chats all the more memorable. It’s nice to hear from someone you care about even via text, but actually getting to listen to your voice makes them feel so much closer to you (and vice versa).
14. You’re a master of conveying subtleties.
Your communication style suggests an understanding of the subtleties that voice can convey. With just a change in pitch or tone, you can add layers of meaning to your words. Sometimes words on a screen just don’t show the depth of your feelings about a particular subject, so only a voice note will do.
15. You’re a champion of simplicity.
You understand that sometimes, the simplest form of communication is the most effective. Rather than getting lost in translation with text, you let your voice do the talking. You’re all about cutting through the noise, delivering your messages in the most straightforward way possible.
16. You appreciate the value of being present.
Your preference for voice notes shows that you know the value of being in the moment. It allows you to react instantly and organically, making every interaction feel more engaging and alive. You’re all about the now, bringing a sense of immediacy and presence to your chats.
