Anybody else fucking loathe having phone calls? I mean I can speak pretty well on the spot in real life even if I'm an awkward fuck, but whenever I need to call someone (for work, doctor, etc.) I'm nervous as fuck and actually postpone calling... Anyone here the same?
I get angry when anyone calls, so I stop becoming nervous (it's all telemarketers and spam so i don't have to worry about consequences)

Nope, unless I'm doing something. People unannounced coming to my door however is a different story.

I used to get anxious as fuck doing phonecalls but i've had to do so many now i'm slowly getting used to it.

I always say "bye" when the other person is mid-sentence or still have something to say
Not in a rude way, I just can't tell when the conversation is over and I'd rather get it over with
I avoid phone calls whenever I can for some strange reason. I have no problem talking to people in real life or sending them emails or IMs. Just talking on the phone makes me feel uneasy.

I can't stand it
If I have the option to email or text I always take it. Phone calls are awful, I have no idea why
If I had to guess it's because I plan my conversations out before engaging in them and phone calls are so sudden and unorganized that I can't adapt in time
I don't get nervous or anxious or anything, I just really, really don't want to do it.

I hate it, I walk in circles just preparing myself to call a customer service. never had an awkward conversation though, it works ok.
It's weird for me not being the person in talking with I guess

seeing, not being

I use to
Then I sold my phone for Video games
Now it's been 6 years no phone and it's awesome
Same thing happens to me; I have no problems with face-to-face conversations but anxiety completely takes over me whenever I'm in a phone call.
I get this weird intense feeling in my stomach and I can barely answer.
I have no idea why this happens.
Yes, sometimes I get extremely anxious before starting a phone convo. It sucks, like, my mom can spend half an hour speaking on the phone comfy while I cant even think of speaking more than 5 min.
Y u do dis life

Calling doesn't make me anxious, but getting called (especially from unknown caller IDs) freaks me out to the point I usually don't pick those up.

I never pick up the phone if I don't know who's calling
I figure if it's really important they'll leave me a message

It took me a while to get used to phones at work. I still refuse to page though. Now I prefer to have to phone simply so I can pretend I'm using it to avoid having to help people

thats pretty much it, i had to do it constantly for a few months in some job i had, you get used to it and stop caring.
I hate receiving calls because it's usually my boss calling me asking me to work.
Oh fuck, you are me. It takes at least 2 beers for me to call someone on the phone. I would rather drive all the way to a shop like 1.5 hours away than call and ask if they have something over the phone.
