I'm scared of doing things like making phone calls too. I can sit by the phone all day making excuses not to ring - and then not ring even when I need to. But recently I've found that it is far more empowering actually doing something feared/ dreaded - like phoning - than the anxiety and guilt that surrounds *not* doing it. I am too avoidant and I am trying to combat that by reminding myself about how much better I feel when I do confront my fear than always running away from it and ignoring it/ avoiding it.

So maybe none of that applies anyway, since you say you have social anxiety, but perhaps if you could just convince yourself of how much better you'd feel to have this sorted out than wondering what to do about it... you'd be motivated to ring?
