Me man no

Me man no, if I wanted to talk I'd call which I don't. They're also a pain in the arse to receive because I then need to find a chance to listen to them

Texts only.

Me man no.
Sister does all the time and it drives myself, my brother and my brother in law nuts as it's faster/easier for me to read the message than listen to her, and my brother in law works in a noisy factory so it requires him to try and find somewhere quieter to listen to them (or as he tends to do, just leave them until break time, or end of shift).

Me, man, no.
And if you send me a voice note I will purposely not listen to it either. I'm texting you because it's convenient. I don't want to have to listen to your note and remember what you said cause you're too lazy to compose a message.

No because I'm not a psycho.

I think it's a zoomer thing.
I've never used it or seen anyone use it.

No. I'm old. Voice notes are a thing for youngsters. Despite my mental/psychological shortcomings, I can talk realtime with people to some extent without too much stress.
It's somewhat interesting to see the changes in how comms tech is used, which partially follows the limitations of tech and partially follows fashion.
Older people tend to talk realtime or use full language text.
Middling age people tend to use highly simplified and abbreviated text, a result of growing up in the brief period of time when voice comms was expensive and text comms was charged per 160 characters.
Younger people tend to use longer text (though sometimes also highly simplified and abbreviated text as a holdover from the previous generation) and increasingly often voice notes.
I can see the appeal. Talking realtime with people is stressful to people with limited social skills. I know that very well. Maybe if I was growing up today I'd only use voice notes for that reason, to maintain a distance between myself and others. Maybe if I was growing up a couple of decades ago I'd have use only highly abbreviated and simplified text speak for the same reason.

Use them EVERY day. Sometimes I take a step back and really appreciate where we are compared to trying to communicate with people 20 years ago. It's soooooo convenient, I love it
I used them as and when needed, mainly for talking to my sister, my PA and one of my friends.
I taught my dad to use them when he was in hospital before he died, he couldn't really read or write.
These are now protected voice notes I have had to save from my phone.
Voice notes are great to use, it's even easier to get context across without having to write it out fully.
