Phone calls cause anxiety for ‘60 per cent’ of Gen Z

Sky News host Caleb Bond says Gen Z’s growing anxiety around phone calls is skyrocketing, with new data revealing 60 per cent of Australians aged 18 to 26 avoid answering them.

“I just want it done. I’ve got to get a task done. You pick up the phone. You get an answer,” Mr Bond said.

“I don’t know whether it’s social anxiety or what.”
