FYI: I ****LOATHE**** the telephone. So I procrastinate heavily on any and all calls I have to make. ::hugs fandom people:: sorry about that.

Part of it is that I think I have horrible phone voice, another is that I think I have a horrible voice, in general, and the sheer physical fact of a phone makes me all the more aware that I am *speaking*. Part of how I got over my fear of communicating badly is to be totally oblivious to the fact that I am possibly making a fool of myself; and thus part of what I'm making myself oblivious to is the fact that my voice is making sounds.

Dunno if I'm the only one like this.

Thoughts?

i'm terrible about phone calls. it's more of an anxiety issue for me (general anxiety disorder and/or social anxiety disorder, take your pick) than an issue of being concerned about how my voice sounds. i just get terrified about the whole thing and never end up doing what i'm supposed to (like call friends to make plans).
