That is SO me. Some days are better than others, but I really have a hard time making and receiving phone calls.
I will often write a script (or at least jot down a few points I need to cover) when I make a phone call. If the person on the other end doesn't pick up, sometimes I will just hang up. Sometimes, I'll leave a voicemail, and most of the time, I ramble and hope I make sense.
I don't answer my cell phone if I don't know who is calling, and not always even when I do know. I'll let it go to voicemail and then decide whether to return the call. Most people don't even bother to leave a voicemail, which is fine with me.
I much prefer to communicate in writing (email, Facebook, text, etc.). I can organize my thoughts so they make sense.
I don't know how helpful my response is, but know you are definitely not alone.
