why do I have a such a hard time talking on the phone?
it's like half the conversation is missing because I can't see the person I am talking to and I have to really concentrate or else I don't feel I understand wtf is going on in the convo.
with ppl I am close to I video call them if I need to talk to them and have a real convo or else I have the same issues. only time I do a regular voice call is for something quick like
>hey man I'm outside
>hey I just got here where aboutsaid are you?
I obviously can't and don't want to do this with everyone I need to communicate with over the phone
at work I'm fine for the most part because I tend to know what to expect and why people are calling in the first place but every now and then I get thrown off because it wasn't a convo I was expecting.
I have no problems understanding people on the radio or in a podcast though.

Phones are shit, just text people instead.

Because no body language. We adjust ourselves to others movements. Also, on the phone, because no body, we make up for it with different vocal tones. It's just not how we're supposed to communicate. So, it can feel really weird and "off" to some people.
To improve, you should start off small. Write a script, if need be. Start off with food orders. Like a pizza. Stuff where there's little to no ambiguity and little chance of unpredictability.
