"Normal" people don't understand this, but I'm the same way. I've had to get better at it since my husband (who'd sit on the phone with the cable company for hours if needed) hasn't been around to deal with phone calls. I HATE talking to people I don't know on the phone, hell, I don't even like to talk to the ones I do know. I'd much rather talk in person or text.

Other bugaboos are showering and fixing myself food. I hate cooking. My hubby used to fix me meals all the time, and I got spoiled. So now I don't eat until I absolutely have to, and even then I just grab something quick and easy. Could be why I've lost 31 pounds since he passed.
