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?

Just about everyone I know online hates the phone. Me, I can deal with making spontanious personal phone calls, but I canNOT handle having to talk to a receptionist about the nature of my call. I have people-judging-me issues.

heh, because of dealing with paperwork and other administrative stuff, I've learned to talk to receptionists. You will too, methinks, out of self defense. ;D And dude, at least you *can* make those spontaneous personal phone calls, it's those I have the most issues with and I sorta feel like I can't maintain any sort of lasting longterm contact with rl people 'cause I can't, telephonically, make that contact.
