Finally someone else who would rather chop their hands off than talk on the phone! I mean, I've always felt overwhelmed and anxious about talking on phones since I was a kid. My nana calls our house every night, but my heart always sinks when my father say, "I'll put Shelby on the phone, and she'll tell you about it herself." I'm VERY attached to my grandmother, and in real life, I can talk to her no problem, but PHONES! I dunno. I know that was almost off topic, and doesn't answer your deal, but I just never heard someone else say that telecommunicating made them feel anxious too.
Maybe you could do webcam with grandma instead? Then it isn't so much like sitting holding a hunk of plastic talking to thin air.
I don't like phones either and as many times as things in these forums ring a bell for me I consistently come up NT...so I guess I am.
