Phones

Post Reply New Topic

i always had that problem ever since i was little.
im still afraid to call people on the phone except my family or maybe my friend.

I hate talking on them, but I love working on them, designing phone systems, etc.

I, too, am seriously phone avoidant and have always found talking on the phone very stressful. I never leave voice mail messages and I never answer my phone directly but instead screen calls - ironic since I rely on voice mail to receive messages, lol.

I hate phones. Trying to hold a freeform conversation with a stranger sends me into a nervous sweat, and I wind up tripping over my words. It's not bad if it's basically scripted, with a single focus, and I'm controlling the flow (like when I'm doing tech support) but it's awful when it's a conversation.
