At least once a day I pretend to talk to on my phone in order to avoid talking to people.
For what reason would you want to avoid talking to others?
I don't want to talk to anyone.
I understand you do not want to talk to people but you should not avoid others. It is rude to ignore other people around you by pretending to talk on your phone.
I want to remain silent and pretending to be on my phone allows that.
Avoiding others isn't a thing that you should strive for, but I definitely understand not wanting to speak with others at times. It's fine to tune out others when you just want to be by yourself, but it shouldn't be a common thing.
