Yes. Yes. Yes. I also have a phobia of answering the phone. I never answer the phone if it isn't someone I know. And I rarely answer the phone if it isn't someone who is in my immediate family. My friends know they are better off texting me rather than actually calling.

It gives me severe anxiety and panic attacks... I usually put off phone calls until I have no other choice- like when I get locked out of my bank account online and am forced to call to reset it. I hate that so much!

For a long time, I thought everyone let their phones go to voice-mail. I didn't realize that it was something odd until a friend confronted me about never answering her calls. I think after realizing it WAS a problem it got worse. Now that I know that I *should* be answering, I feel more pressured. Ugh.
