I do not have social anxiety, but I do have phone anxiety.
It’s a funny thing, though- for if I just start talking with someone on the phone it often becomes a lengthy conversation. And I don’t have any bad experiences with it.
There is a handful of people I can talk to on the phone without feeling this anxiety crawl through my body. Most of the time I don’t answer the phone.
For me it’s not all about the body language either. It’s also the fact I find it hard to pay attention, and I have problems with starting and ending conversations. (Lol, that’s probably one of the reasons it ends up taking forever before done talking…)
What about you?
