We’ve all had moments of panic when someone doesn’t pick up our call, but calling repeatedly, especially more than twice in a row, can come off as intrusive and inconsiderate. Everyone has personal boundaries. They may be sleeping, in a meeting, attending to family, or simply taking time off. Unless it’s a medical emergency or a truly urgent matter, give the person time to return your call. Respecting someone’s personal space, even digitally, builds trust and reflects emotional intelligence.
