Anyhow, I never considered myself freakishly tall, but 6'5'' would be around 2 meters I believe which is definitely the international giant demarcation line.
Anyhoo, don't feel like doing another one so just quick thoughts about some things.
I totally understand the phone thing, I can only handle a phone conversation with people I'm very intimate with (like my siblings), but a conversation with other people causes severe stress, even with people I've known for years. I'm not a very good conversationalist and I cannot stand the awkward silences which any sort of lag in the conversation brings about. The silence is deafening and makes me sweat profusely. I've made that clear to most people I hang out with and communicate whatever needs to be communicated with text messages except this one friend who continues to traumatize me every time she calls me on the phone on special occasions like Christmas and birthdays. *shudders*
Second thing is the handshake. Absolutely cannot stand the limp handshake but equally loathe the overzealous firm handshake which some assholes tend to utilize as some sort of caveman gesture of establishing power and dominance. You absolutely can tell a lot about people from a handshake and I try to stay away from both.

Conversations on the phone with my sister are so awkward.
There was this one time she called me for help with her homework and everything, and then we didn't know how to hang up.
So she was like, "Well... this is really awkward soooo, I'm going to hang up and go... do stuff."
It was horrible. xD

As for phone conversations, I love awkward pauses. Frequently I'll be talking to a friend and there will be 5 minute pauses where nobody says anything, but we're both still on the phone.

I know what you mean.
My friend and I used to stay on the phone all day and there would be REALLY long silences where we didn't talk, it was kind of like we were right next to each other.
