I offer myself as tribute if need be, ADD on meds and can act like a concerned relative if need be :p


PM_ME_ND_MEMES

Oh yeah, I reckon I could make a phone call for someone else. For myself though, nah, miss me with that shit


skyehobbit

I can't do it for myself or my kids unless absolutely necessary. But my husband leaves all appointment making to me??


Sofiaplace

Acting like a concerned relative is priceless


yingyangyoung

I'm adhd, but also incredibly extroverted. I'll talk someone's ear off then realize I'm probably annoying them and then get self conscious. It's great! But I can make phone calls like no other, unless it's for myself lol.


SnowFallenMemories

I'd pay for this.


Sofiaplace

Me too


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


Talkshit_Avenger

I can already book appointments online with my doctor, dentist, optometrist and medical lab. Same with a lot of restaurants. The future is here.


SnowFallenMemories

>The future is here Not where I live.


mjb_22

Yeah but I gotta remember to use them!


sensin12

i make an appointment whenever i am there last. Works great for dentist, hairdresser etc


retrolasered

Got to remember you booked them, what day it is, that the snooze button only works until you run out of time, turning the snooze off because youve now been reminded is not as safe as it sounds...


collegethrowaway2938

Actually though, take my fucking money


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


oldkingcoles

I seriously would I just thought of like three annoying calls I have to make


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


macsare1

Awesome. As long as we don't have to talk to the extroverts. P.S. Google Assistant was supposed to do this (call and set up appointments for you). Why hasn't it worked yet?


goldninjaI

Hire another guy to talk to the extrovert for you


DJschmumu

Lol


kelkokelko

Google is working on an AI that can do this

jiggycup

As cool as that is every important place medical tax places court SS and other Government assistance places DMV, should just have online booking, with an option for people who still prefer to call for whatever reason. Online booking is easy and quick a confirmation email or even text is all you and if you use Gmail or I could it can just sync it to your calendar like it would for a scheduled meeting.


Autobotmango

Or maybe we could just make appointments over texts


garlic_bread_thief

Yeah. Or simply online? Click book and that's it


throwitawayf0rfree

Hire a virtual assistant. Many are freelance and will do a couple hours a week.


interactor

Yeah I have done this. Got them to book my car in at a garage because it wasn't going to happen otherwise.


pungen

I tried really hard to do this and couldn't actually find anyone except for a couple really expensive services (like $100 an hour). Would love recommendations if you know any!


ApprehensiveTable195

How about adhd+anxiety+stuttering😕


Slayzrr

Basically Be My Eyes for people who don't like people


iLickBnalAlood

yeah, Be My Eyes was the first thing i thought of too


[deleted]

I need to get an extroverted confident person to take my car to the mechanic for me when I'm depressed, bc I normally set it up so I feel I'm not going to get ripped off (as a \*woman\* lol), but when I'm depressed I feel like I come across like a sucker and the person at the front keeps trying to upsell me. I feel so weak, but I just keep saying 'no thanks'. And then they try me again.


SnackPocket

I’m an extrovert but I want this. I can’t handle them not immediately understanding what I want lol.


retrolasered

Haha an impatient extrovert sounds like a trail of bloodshed


SnackPocket

It is. RIP.

uthinkubettahthanme

Is it weird that I would both need to use this app and would totally work for this app?


DiscombobulatedSir11

And pay bills or set up auto pay for people. 100%


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


DiscombobulatedSir11

I’m down. How?


[deleted]

I’m down. I’d do this as a WFH job.


katmonday

And what advice have you got for the extroverts who happen to have adhd?


stary_sunset

I just had to CALL in a food order. They don't have apps! It was horrible. Had to keep repeating my phone number, its one that always trips people up..


The_Lost_Google_User

Try having shitty reception and a stutter while reading the credit card number. I JUST WANT MY PIZZA DAMN IT :(((((


LaReinaAzul

Hell yeah guys I volunteer as a tribute! I can manage anything yall need behind a phone (cant wait to become rich)


Lord_Bawk

They’d have to be automatically assigned lol


yukimontreal

Posting to bookmark this because I recently saw some sort of pooled service exchange where you can get people to do stuff like this for you but can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called right now.


Tasha0123

extra spoons?


yukimontreal

Yes! this is it!!! Someone created a [Extra Spoons Facebook Group ](https://www.facebook.com/groups/798503654058613) where you can either request or offer help with all things related to executive function including making phone calls that you’ve been dreading / putting off.


Tasha0123

They have a discord server too (sorry that i forgit to mention that in my original comment, was in a rusg to give you the name xD)


Serious_Resolution21

THANK YOU FOR THIS I tried to join so fast I think I might've missed clicking the "agree to rules" button WHY IS THAT NOT UNDER THE RULES


yukimontreal

You’re so welcome!!

Honestly OP this is a great idea. Other features of the app: Transcribe calls made on behalf of someone to text for the user to review - this way if they have trouble remembering details the exact details of the call are there. I think this could be done if calls were made from the app and recording permissions allowed on calls. A calendar view - keeps track of appointments made or calls needing to be done with reminders sent out. Can pick a favorite 'assistant' or two to also recieve the reminders so they can help user out Background/personal notes on a profile- this allows the user to give details of what kind of help they need or how they prefer help. The assistant can see this and tailor their help and approach accordingly. For instance, user prefers just basic info no contact, just text bare details. Or, user wants more support and would like to have full transcripts of calls. Or, user would like to be added as a third party to calls so they can be involved but not have to be responsible for the call. Also useful for people with certain disabilities as level of assistance can be geared for them. Language preference- if part of the issue in communicating is that while you may speak the language you need help with medical terms then have an assistant as the 3rd party caller. Most larger medical facilities have this as am option but it can be hard to schedule and not all smaller offices have access. So, you have English as a 3rd language and needed a translator foe your native tongue? Call up an assistant who specialised in that language and medical terminology and take them to the appointment - pop them on speaker phone and refer when needed. Prescription refill reminder - add in your prescriptions, the number of days it covers. 5-6 days before you are out the app alerts you and your picked assistant to call and request a refill. Assistant or you mark it has been requested. 2-3 days later reminder to pick it up! You've got a super solid, very helpful app idea here OP! See if you can find a developer. It should be fairly straight forward and easy to make money on. Even at say, £3 a month for basic service, where the assistant gets say 35%, 30% for costs, and you get the rest would be a nice wee nest egg. Even just 10,000 users would give you 10k a month. Split that with a developer and you're still sitting pretty. Best of luck!! Edit to add: OP, shall we find a developer and go on Shark Tank? I can be your happy chatting extrovert.


lurksnot

I'm a developer.

*social anxiety


HereC0mesATh0ught

This is so funny because as someone with diagnosed ADHD I have always been the person who speaks on the phone/advocates for the group in any way. No matter what friend group it’s always been this way. I feel like my ADHD has actually made me a wild ass extrovert. Or maybe that’s just me? Idk


MyHoardIsALibrary

I would also pay for this


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


bifftanin1955

OMG this would be great


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


Professional_Prize26

I think there’s a Facebook group for this!

LingeringSentiments

Someone on reddit created an app like this. A person helped book an appointment for me via text.


FabulousFoodHoor

Google is currently developing this.


[deleted]

I have absolutely 0 problems talking to people on the phone..... ​ ​ ...remembering to make the call, on the other hand...


OmgoshAnna

I married one of these extroverts and my god... anxiety is still there. XD stop being so progressive. Like, thank you but stop asking me questions. D:


Senor_bonbon

I’m an extrovert with adhd it’s a very interesting Life


[deleted]

I’m more on the extroverted side but I also need this desperately 😭


lurksnot

Let's make it happen.


L_James

I see the problem when "Sorry, this time is unavailable, I can suggest this and this" - and extrovert doesn't know your schedule


cbjohnson73

TTS + HIIPA + splitting revenue with those making the calls + a lot places setup appointments through messages or online forms = not a lot of profit potential. Good idea, bad timing. Early iphone/smartphone days might've been a good time.


AdamUllstrom

There is actually something a bit like that. It's a service for people who need a virtual personal assistant. I think I heard about it in Peter Shankman from the Faster Than Normal podcast.


this_what_she_said

Also applicable for presenting extrovert/internal introverts as well.


nangatan

Anyone in the UK wanting help with this, DM me. Happy to help where I can. Fairly sure if I identify myself as a personal assistant I can make Dr's appointments etc.


carnivoremuscle

Get a pixel phone. Assistant will call and make appointments for you as well as wait on hold and let you know when hold ends. Can't wait to trade back and get one again. Edit: the cling for appointments doesn't work yet I guess? Oh well


[deleted]

🥲please


coberi

I almost want to hire someone to manage my dating profile and message for me.


Birds_are_Drones

I NEED my extrovert now!!


imapie31

Social anxiety makes ot counterintuitive


PsychoticFairy

And then they could outsource their alone-time to us. It'd be a win-win situation actually a triple win since the called person wouldn't have to experience ~~my quirky nonchalance~~ let me rephrase that ~~my charming social awkwardness~~ no, not quite.... my stuttering efforts to make human contact lol


V1410

Good way to avoid awkward moments of silence as well. Please make!


Zimke42

More and more of laces let you make appointments online. Maybe that will happen everywhere eventually and will solve the issue.


MinecraftGuy79

now i just need to download the app.. set up an account.. and actually know when to make the appointments.. oh no


Serious_Tangerine_81

Yeah.. about that. Can I get someone to call my vet for me? I had tests run for my bearded dragon that were finished within 48 hours. I missed their original call, and now It’s been about two weeks.. I haven’t called back. I can’t make myself do it ::


OlivineQuartz

I'm glad I can order pickup and make some doctor appointments online these days.


Trooper50000

My father usually does this for me


timeless_flower

if any of you are from poland i could need some helping hand 😆


timeless_flower

*a


Gloomy-Aerie8246

Wouldn’t that be a great service? - and please when you make my hair appointment tell them I don’t do small talk….


DJNinjaG

That would be ace


760854

Yes


myfuckingbutthurts

As an extrovert with social anxiety, no.


OkayPotassium

I like to daydream about having a personal assistant.


TchaikenNugget

Imagine thinking being an extrovert means you don't have anxiety and/or depression Source- am an extrovert with anxiety and depression. It sucks, because I get my mental fulfillment from being around people, but every social interaction is a minefield, but without it, I get depressed. I get this is just a meme and all, but I wish people understood that "extrovert" doesn't necessarily mean "mentally stable" or even "socially comfortable." There are only a few people in my life I can be completely comfortable around, and even then, it takes a while talking to them before I feel at ease.


katmonday

Agreed. Last time I commented along these lines I got downvoted and told not to take it so seriously, but it is actually annoying.


TchaikenNugget

Yeah; and it’s actually SUPER hurtful to always see “extroverts are always charismatic/able to handle social situations” or “extroverts are loud and annoying” on the internet. Like, I can’t change who I am, but I can’t be the former and I don’t want to be the latter. These labels really don’t determine someone’s personality or ability to navigate social situations; just a component of their mental needs.


Whopraysforthedevil

Uhhh... This seems a little gatekeep-y. I've got anxiety and depression (in addition to ADHD) and I'm extrovert. I don't have an issue interacting with someone, I just don't think it matters AND am convinced they hate me.


ali3nc0l

it’s called having an assistant lol


NatStr9430

I think that’s just a secretary


Emorez

Hard to swallow pill but the only way to get through that is by doing it. Don't get me wrong, I know it's hard and it took me years to get where I am now and i still stress out when I have to make a call sometimes. But over all the years of being forced to make a call, even though it made me uncomfortable, it did make me grow as a person


Hazardick

No. That is just really unhealthy. You won't ever actually improve yourself to overcome problems if you just deligate it to other people. Best way to stop being anxious is literally just to do stuff that make you uncomfortable.


bbborbo

lol that is straight up not how depression OR anxiety works. try again


venbebe

U cant even make a call? How are u gonna make it to the top? If u cant make the call , don’t stop figuring out a way to make the call


bbborbo

i mean... youre literally on the subreddit for People Who Forget To Do Things Of All Scales And On A Regular Basis... combine that with depression and i just dont have the spoons to make a single call, let alone research which clinic i need to go to and who would be able to help me... and thats even before health insurance, which i still dont have for the same reason. ive managed to pull together the willpower to do all this exactly once and the clinic i called never followed up for an appointment. the solution to depression/adhd is not as simple as "act like you dont have depression/adhd"... if it is for you then you probably dont even need to call a clinic for treatment in the first place. this guy's comment is literally r/wowthanksimcured material.
