I don't understand it, and I can't explain it. But I seem to have picked up a phobia of telephones.
Now, it's not like seeing one sends me running into the other room. And I do my fair share of talking on them. But for some reason, when it comes time for me to call someone I've never spoken to on the phone before, I am absolutely petrified.
I'm getting so much better at talking to people I don't know in person. I'm quite the chatterbox online. But when it comes to the phone, I just can't do it.
And I have no idea why. I never used to be this way. I used to call people up with ease. But not anymore.
So now I'm in a pickle. I absolutely need to call someone from my church today, to set up a time we can meet and discuss what she needs to know to begin taking over my position as powerpointer. I have six weeks to get her fully trained up. Six powerpoints to do it in. I need to call her TODAY.
And I'm having much difficulty. She's a nice woman, and I love talking to her. But I've dialed the number four or so times. I let the phone ring once before frantically hanging up. If I knew no one would be home, I'd gladly call and leave a message. And it would be easier when she called me back. But for some reason, I can't seem to call her and let the phone ring. I'm terrified someone will pick it up, and I won't know what to say.
Egad, I'm a mess! Well, I'm gonna give it another try... Wish me luck!

Good Luck!!!
Do you live close by? I was going to say it is time to start a excersise routine that involves accidently walking by her house and sseeing her and chatting. Then I thought that might look stalkerish.
Good luck I am sure that six shows will be more then enought ime to get her trained up.

THank you!
Sadly, I chickened out...
I'll give it another go at a decent hour tomorrow morning...
I just don't know what I'm gonna say, because I don't even know what I'M doing this week...
And sadly, I don't live close to anyone. If I did, I'd have walked on over there before even considering the phone! Sigh...
Oh well. I'm sure everything will work out. Things always do....
And that's comin' at ya' from yer local redneck hippie.

I can understand somewhat. There are times when I have to call my friends for something or times when i should call them to see what they are doing but i can't, i don't know why, it is weird. I can call girls no problem, the problem starts when i have to talk to them, lol, *sigh*

I don't understand it at all... I've just been really jumpy and antsy and having issues with things that never used to bother me before. Like doing the dishes... something about other people's dirty dishes is starting to seriously freak me out, and I have no clue why... I've done the dishes for four years now...
And now this phone thing... ugh, I'm a mess. Sigh...
