It doesn't sound strange to me. I have my ringer perpetually turned off and only look for voicemail. I don't really know anyone so it doesn't matter! I am sensitive to noise so that is part of why I do that. I have a social phobia as well, and don't go out much. But I went from Wisconsin to Michigan on the train/bus for the holidays! You never know what you are capable of, and sometimes you can surprise yourself! I definitely love my comfort zone, but have to get out of it sometimes?
