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 used to despise using the phone. I'm still not fond of it, but I'm okay with it, because I have to answer the phone at work. Being forced to be polite on the phone helped me learn how to do it when I'm not at work. *shrug*

hee!

but then, is there a specific reason for your despising the phone (ie. have you ever pinned it down)? or just a general disgruntlement??

Mostly because I dislike talking, I think. I see it as superfluous. Why can't friends just sit in silence? They can, but not on the phone. You have to make noise. Stupid phone.

ahh!! yes!! ::nods:: and the inherent purpose of the phone as being non-conductive to the way I express myself 'cause I use alot of body language! ::lightbulbs::
