Phone calls dread

RuthTaylor

Hello All,

Does anyone else here dislike talking to the people on the phone and dread making or receiving phone calls?

I don't like speaking to people on the phone and would rather text, WhatsApp, Skype or email people.  If I do use the phone it is only to speak to my husband, my dad or for work.  I always like to keep telephone conversations short as well.

Does anyone else have this issue?  Talking to people on the phone seems to be making me more and more anxious the older I get.

Thanks for your time :-)

  • Yes yes yes

    I hate making and taking phone calls n avoid it at all costs. They so stressful and almost bring on panic attack if I'm not careful

    Texting is far easier for me but even that causes me to be anxious if it's with someone i don't no well.

    If I ever do end up on the phone chatting I'll make the call as short as pos and hang up as soon as I can.
