i dont feel like this belongs in this section coz its so insignificant to all the other problems posted here but its really bothering me and i dont know where else to post.......
so i get really bad anxiety whenever i am in a situation where i have to talk on the phone to someone who isnt my mother. I dont answer private numbers and rarely answer the phone even if i know who is calling. I would rather walk half and hour or travel an hr by bus than get on the phone and call up regardless whether its school, work, the doctors or pizza.
i feel really stupid typing it all out. I just have an irrational fear of being on the phone, calling people, answering it etc and its been like that for awhile... but considering ive started my business with a friend and we have to make calls and receive them [she is just as bad as me with this actually] its time to... i dont know.... confront my fears of being on the phone????
so stupid.
seriously.
help me coz you feel sorry for me?

If I get any answers, Ill be sure to let y'all know...
Asshole. Anyway, when I have to call I end up stuttering or fucking up words. Most of the time I'm in such a rush to get off the phone that I continue to interrupt people :/ I actually get butterflies in my stomach and have to take some breaths before dialing. I've even written down what I'm going to say on more than one occasion. I think that technology like texting, skyping, FB chat, etc... has made talking on the phone that much harder for people.. Something that would take a 5 min phone call turns into 40 pages of texts, lol..

! Also, a website/email for your business will give other's another way of getting in touch with you.
