Isn't that interesting?

So what do I do for a living? I'm a secretary and I call people all day long. Every day. I have to answer the phone. All day long. I still hate it but I can do it without wetting my pants now. The fear is there, but managable most days. Some days i really struggle. But i do it anyway. Facing the fear has made me stronger although hasn't fully eleviated the fear. But once I get home, I avoid the phone like crazy.... lol...

I have that same problem, when i was a teen way before cell phones, i was on our house phone all the time. I think about the last 10 years I've developed this. I can go and talk to people, that what i prefer, or better than that.. Texting. i just really hate talking on the Phone!
