I apparently committed a bit of a faux pas last night. I won't go into details, but I left a gathering early, and today one of the people I was with last night called and left a message apologizing for making me uncomfortable. I needed to smooth this over, because, believe it or not, this was one group of people I wasn't uncomfortable with. There were just other reasons I had to leave without explanation. So I got this voice mail message four hours ago, and I just now replied. I couldn't bring myself to call. I'm terrified of making phone calls. Even more so than actually being around people. I guess it's because there's more pressure to actually carry on a conversation when you're on the phone. Oh, and because I just met these people and don't have anyone's email address, the only contact option I had was the number in my call log. Thank God I finally remembered text messaging is a technology that exists. (Yeah, I don't normally text message. It really took me four hours to remember such a thing existed.) I was finally able to reply, without having to speak to anyone. Does anyone else have this fear of phones?
