ItsNathanbitch 2,655 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 I guess it's a part of my social anxiety (which has improved over the last year or so), however I'm still terrible when it comes to making calls. I always have to write down a script of what I'm going to say and I always put off making a call for as long as I can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoshLee 4,252 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 I hate it because I have to talk to someone plus I like texting more because I can just answer later and I don't always have to say what? Everytime I can't hear someone Also hope your social anxiety gets better each day! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HolySpearit 1,485 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 I don't hate making calls but I have a lot of anxiety over leaving voicemails.. I find myself re-recording voicemails 3 times and then if I still don't like something about it I delete it one last time and hang up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everytime I can't hear someone Also hope your social anxiety gets better each day! It depends on the person mainly. If I have to call someone I know, that's no problem. But if it's someone I don't know, it's extremely anxiety provoking. I suppose the more I do it though, the better I'll be at it. I prefer meeting people face to face, and yeah texting is better too. Aw thankyou! It's definitely not as bad as it used to be, it's just when it comes to phone calls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not too bad with voicemails, mainly as I don't really have to do it that often, but it's mainly actually making a call in itself that I find so daunting But I can totally understand how you feel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, it's like you're talking to yourself but at the same time it can be helpful to be more open to yourself 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the reason I don't like making phone calls because I get nervous about what I have to say which is why I always have to prepare a script. Maybe try coming up with some things to talk about before you call him (sounds lame but I'm terrible at advice ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ME 2, i understand youu so much on this, it's really difficult for me too since i'm a little girl and back then I just couldnt escape by texting! I prepare a script for every call I have to do, (besides family and close friends but i get nervous too)...Even when i'm calling for a pizza I get anxious lol..but I try to push myself and make the calls when I have too and be spontaneous. Because otherwise it would make me loose my time for thinking too much about it. :zoey: It's definitely better to see people face 2 face Hope you get less anxiety and get better at making calls 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
