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 hate the phone. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I hardly ever use it. It's part social anxiety, part hating my phone-voice (I sound like I'm 7), and part the fact that I find it awkward to speak to someone who I can't see. I know that sounds weird, but I can't talk out loud to some who isn't right it front of me. It's just too odd. Anyway, you're not alone.
