Whenever I am upset at her or she wants to tell me anything she e-mails...I feel she is not comfortable talking to me and it worries me. What can I do about this? I asked her why she does this she said it's just easier that way

This becomes a more common problem further and further down the generation line. With technology at our fingertips ALL the time, it's SO much easier to talk about something like that over the internet. You need to tell this friend that you're not happy with the way she's communicating. Or try and get her to talk. I have a friend that won't talk face to face, he's REALLY quiet, but as SOON as you get him on AIM, he'll talk ALL day and night. You might need to take the first step and force her to communicate face to face. Or at LEAST over the phone.

Alot of people are this way anymore. I've got several friends who are more comfortable texting or IM'ing than talking on the phone or visiting face-to-face. The only inherent problem with this is that you can't hear the tone of voice. It makes it alot easier to misinterpret someone's intentions when it is put in writing.

I once dated a guy like that. He would rather email me than call me on the phone or he wouldnt be as expressive in person as he would be via email. I think that with some people it's just easier to write things down. But if your friend has a problem expressing herself to you in person, she may need to open up more. It's just so much easier these days for someone to express themselves through emails and texts.

It is easier for some people to communicate this way because these are the types of people that dont like confrontation...just like my friend would rather text message me than call me or talk to me face to face...it drives me nuts because i'm the opposite...but that's just her way of communicating and it's what's comfortable for her.
So dont force her to talk to u face to face because she might clam up all together and not want to go to you when she has a problem.

I am the same way... I would rather e-mail or txt my friends than call them. I don't know about your friend but I feel more comfortable writing about my feelings than talking about them in person. For me is hard to open up to others in person. I get nervous and I am afraid of the reaction is get. So don't get mad at your friend, all of my friends understand me and they have no problem with that

I observed documentaries in this 15 years in the past. e-mails have been monitored for a minimum of that long. And so lots greater forms of communications. Heck i exchange into on a base in Alaska interior the 1950's which monitored transmissions. We additionally flew around the globe. previous information.

I'm kinda the same way. I would rather email then anything else. It gives me a chance to check everything before i send it. I have a problem where I talk faster then I think or I just blurt stuff out without thinking and it gets embarassing sometimes.

I am like your friend. I call friends only when I HAVE to. Emailing/IM-ing is easier, you can talk to more people at once, its more private, especially at work and continue to do tasks as you type away. The ironic thing is, there was a time when you couldnt get me OFF the phone....Call your friend more. Its not that she is being impersonal, she has just gotten used to this way of life. Call her...she will talk to you.

It is easier, I do that all the time. I give big news by txt messages and email, because 1) people don't watch me blush, 2) I can think my answers carefully and not get aggressive, even not answer if it pleases me, hard to do when you're with people.
It's not that she's not comfortable talking to you, don't take it personally, she's just not comfortable, period. She's got confrontation issues.

I express myself better in writing because I can THINK about what I'm trying to say whereas if I'm in a face-to-face situation I tend to lose focus on what I really want to say. In e-mails I can always go back and make corrections, additions, etc. But up close and personal I have a tendency to forget what I'm trying to say and get tongue-tied.
