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! I absolutely hate using the telephone! As a child I used to run to the toilet everytime the phone rang so that my parents couldn't tell me to pick it up! Joy These days I can just about cope with a short call if there is a reason for it, like making an appointment or ordering medication because I just stick to the same script everytime.
