Ah, thank you. Glad (well, not glad, but you know…) I’m not the only one that feels this. >_< I don’t even nkow why, either. But it’s getting pretty bad. I haven’t called my boyfriend in over a week, and he probably thinks I hate him. But I just can’t bring myself to pick it up. GAH I’ll try to overcome it, though. I think I can I think I can I think I can… ;) _A7 years ago

I have real problems with the phone. My Dad’s a doctor, and when I was a kid we were forbidden under pain of death to pick up the phone in case it was a patient. I ended up very scared of getting into trouble for using the phone myself.

These days, I’m still very uncomfortable around telephones. I use the phone at work OK, although I will default to email at the slightest provocation, but my dislike of the telephone means I don’t call my friends and family enough, and I have real trouble calling the bank, the council, booking tables in restaurants and so on. I’m going to make an effort to do it more; to use email less and to ask my husband to call people for me less. 7 years ago
