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 :-)

    I'm exactly the same - I much prefer texting, email or online chat.  Talking on the phone causes me to sweat profusely and I just don't understand when it's my turn to talk.  I also hate the weird silences on the phone.  I avoid phone calls - if I have to make them then I keep them short too.  In actual fact just thinking about them now is causing the Panicky feeling.
