I can’t stand talking on the phone in public and sometimes I’ll just sit and stare at the phone knowing I have a call I need to make but can’t seem to bring myself to pick up that phone.
I’ll send an email in seconds flat and as long as I’m not exhausted or in a terrible mood will answer the phone and handle business but outbound calls for anything is like my nemesis I don’t think I haven’t anxiety symptoms on the calls I just can’t seem to do it.
And the weird part is I have normal self esteem and don’t seem to be concerned with what people think of me so I have no clue what I could be anxious about

In your case, still when you have a normal self-esteem, your fear could be due to the missing parts in a phone communication. Maybe, your need to have a better knowledge about what’s going on is bigger in those occasions. Maybe, the instantaneity plays a big role because you are very concern to make a mistake or you are under a hard pressure at work.
I don’t know. It’s what comes to my mind at these moments.
