Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words. Even though the UberEats and other similar apps have text the driver kinda thing, the drivers here don't read the messages and even I give special instructions as 'there's no need to call' they'd still call that's how it works over here as almost everyone and everything is ok with things like that. Also my conscience would taunt me if I try to escape the situation, I already feel guilty and bad if someone answers the call and my mind kinda yearns and longs to communicate that easily. I've tried and I've struggled big time because it's like answer and it'll be like nearly half a minute to say one word and the driver would have gone past my house by then and again I say a word or two without any struggle (feeling good on the inside) only for the driver to miss it and he asks me to repeat what I said and then again the silence from my end, which is not actually a silence but me struggling to get myself to talk and if anyone was present in front of me or watching me, it'd be all the more humiliating because of the physical agony I display when I'm on the call, struggling with my own self and the damn words. Thanks again and I wish I had something like the 'instructions thing' that would work over here too so that I could order things without feeling like I'm going to explode of all the anxiety that starts once it shows 'driver picked up your order and is on his way' and I know what would happen from that moment onwards.
