Phobia of telephone talking. I do .
I don't have the same problem with my friends or family.
But when I need to call someone whom I don't know or don't know well enough, I always making a conversation(one-sided) in my head before call which probably makes me sound very robotic during a conversation .
When I was an intern in some office I had to talk on the phone all the time (even though I tried to avoid it with every possibility I got) and when I've talked to the clients on the phone I hanged up as soon as they started asking me questions to which I didn't know the answer .
Right now I need to call my teacher but instead of calling him I'm writing this .
Does anyone of you have the same problem?

Edit: my English is a mess .

Well, I'm robotic when calling someone for the first time or something, but I don't have a phobia..

Yes, ugh.

I'm terrible at talking on phones to anyone except my family. I'd rather just talk in person.

Kind of. I'm afraid to answer the home phone, because I don't want to accidentally talk to a telemarketer or someone looking for one of my family members, then I have to tell them he/she is not here. It's all awkward.

Are you guys serious? lol

id rather shoot myself than answer/talk to someone on the phone

Glad I'm not the only one

I don't know if I'd call it a phobia but I guess I'm kind of afraid of answering the phone from numbers I don't recognize because I'm afraid it will be someone I haven't talked to in a while and I'd need to make useless small talk that I'm not in the mood for.

Pretty much. I literally never pick up the home phone unless I know it's someone in my immediate family calling. I even hate it just when the phone rings.

Nope, I'm always on the phone. I do sometimes run through the conversation in my head before I call someone tho

Ugh yes GOD. Talking on the phone makes me so uncomfortable for some reason. I have to mentally prepare myself before I make a phone call to a business or wherever, and the second I say something wrong or make a mistake, I want to hang up and cry Knowing I have to make a call somewhere the next day makes me panic hours ahead I'd rather talk to somebody face to face and I don't like talking face to face with strangers.

I think this has a lot to do with how our generation grew up communicating.

AKA social anxiety. And I yes, I have that same phobia, but I overcome those instances by just doing it before I have a chance to think about it.

I hate calling people. I always imagine how the conversation could be like
and i'm mostly scared to ask somone something or to cancel something because i always expect the worst

edit: sometimes i get nearly hysterical and let my mother call the person

I never talk on the phone even with my family. My mother say my phone u
Is useless since I never call anyone

MTE I also ignore every call from strange number to my cellphone

Ignoring strange numbers is pretty normal.

I have a fear of spiders all of them big or small hate them.

It makes me want to die. And I always hate it when people I know, who know I hate talking on the phone, insist on calling me.
