Fear of Using a Phone

[we all eat food]

I dont know why but ever since i was young i was nervous/ had a phobia about calling someone up on the phone, and im still like that

any help?

I also was very nervous when I was younger. I had a kind of envy of others that seemed to do it so natural. But then I started calling people, not because I liked it but because I had to. I just got used to it. Try to call your friends, you shouldnt be scared to talk to them or call hotlines like help for your bla bla. That people are payed tot talk to you so they try to keep the conversation nice.

(I still prefer to write sms sometimes instead of calling because of that anxiety but also because its cheaper )

I used to be really scared to call girls, friends, potential jobs. What helped me was a girlfriend who i had to call everyday... try calling friends every day just to ask what there doing this weekend, or if they wanna chill that day. You should get over it in no time.

Force yourself to call. There is no buffer zone here. You either do it or you don't.

Phone conversation is an essential skill in life. Get over yourself and start.

Start prank calling.

Prank calling is prolly the best solution to get over your phone phobia. but u have to force your self to call a girl .

yea force yourself...like if i say im going to call a girl one night i just randomly take my fone out and dial her up before even thinking of what i'm doing.

Just do it. After your first successful phone call you will feel like a new man. I'm sure everyone can relate to some degree, but the longer you sit and think about imaginative bad possibilities the more nervous you'll be.
