do i have a phobia about making phone call's?


Question Posted Thursday January 7 2010, 8:54 am

I'v allways been the sam everytime i make a call, if the call is to some one i know well like a freind, manager or what ever im fine with it.

but if i make a phone call to some one i dont know say a new job postion im applying for, i go shakey and forget what im going to say. if i write it down and say what im readin in a near normall voice i can just about pull it off till im comfortable with the call. but its allways the dialing the number and calling part that is a problem. I dont really get it much if its some one phoning me i guess its happend a couple of times like that but the main one is me calling some one i dont know and iv been like it all my life. Know any good ways of breaking the habit?

I have always had this problem, too. Unfortunately, I don't have a brilliant answer for you. I do know that with time and practice it gets a little better. I always have to remind myself that they can't see me. That helps a little. I also remind myself to talk slower (because when you are nervous you want to talk faster and without taking breaths... which makes it worse) and pause to take a breath here and there. For me, the more I think about it and try to prepare myself, the worse off I am during the phone call. It is usually better for me if I just do it quickly. I don't know that that would work for everyone. Good Luck! I know it will get better for you, too, as you get older (I think because you care less about what others think of you).

i dont think you have a phobia of calling.i think that your just nervous about what your going to say to the person because you dont know them and unsure of what they may think of you as you want to make a good impression on them.if you have a phobia you be scared to even touch the phone and even call your friend or even pick up when someone is calling you.id say just relax and take a deep breath before you dial the number.just relax and try not to think so hard about what your going to say to the person just take it as it comes.through time youll get use to it dont stress its just a phone call sweety :)
