It's exactly the same way I feel about video calls. They are never something that I think I'm ever going to get used to. The kind of tension it puts me in is too much for me to deal with.
As long as it is with my immediate family members, I wouldn't complain so much about making video call with them because I know it is not something I do frequently.
I prefer video calls for stuff like that too. Family and doctors are very important video calls. My wife talks to my 6-year-old grandson every day by video calls.
Just yesterday, someone called me on a video call, and my heart skipped immediately. Though it's not going to be easy but I am getting to manage the tension these days.
It was from someone I know but she was using a new number. I was a little bit shaken to answer the call. It take me some minutes to relax before I pick and know who that was. I nearly shouted at her in her DM before she explained who she was.
Personally, there is nothing that is going to make me to pick even an audio call of a number that I don't have saved in my contact. So, if I receive a video call from such number, I will not pick it and I will block the number immediately the call ended.
Yes, I know some of them don't know what it means to apply courtesy like taking permission before you call someone. I am the type that don't like video call unless I permit the person to call me. A new number supposed to be formal and ask for permission before calling. The person might be a client but it doesn't give him/her the upper hand to video call me without sending messages first.
