Is it normal to be scared of talking on the phone?

I get really anxious and nervous when i call someone or pick up the phone, no matter who i am talking to.

    Yeah I used to get really nervous if I had to call someone, or was receiving a call, especially if it was from a stranger.

    The best way to overcome the anxiety is just to call or be called more. It's kind of a strange form of social interaction, and if you don't have much experience with it, it's a scary prospect. You just have to get used to speaking on phones by doing it a lot :)

    It depends who it is. But for me I'm totally confident so it's just diffrent for everyone

  • Lol I'm the exact same way. My voice gets high-pitched and I get my words all mixed up.
