For as long as I can remember, making and taking phone calls sets off my fight/flight response. I get huge anticipation anxiety, then I forget things during calls and regret not saying X or Y at the end of a call. It stresses me out when there's silence while I try to think of a reply. Being unable to gauge the person's response (body language) is frightening. I resent the fact that there are many tasks (e.g. booking appointments) that require phones.
I'm a grown adult and I feel shame about this. Does anyone else have this problem? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
