Scared of talking on the phone??!


Question: Scared of talking on the phone!?!?
This sounds stupid, but I am wondering, am I the only one who hates talking on phones!?!?

I am not scared of the phone of anything, but I hate calling people, or even just talking to people on the phone!. Even the sound of my phone ringing makes me stress a bit!. Not a lot, but it is annoying when your friends bug you about always having your cellphone off!.

So, is anyone else like this!? Is this normal!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not normal for me Hannah, but it is a faction of my social anxiety disorder!. There are quite a few of us who have a problem with talking on the phone!. For me it's a feeling of being "trapped" on the phone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may suffer from Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia is typically associated with the lack of an easily available exit or escape route to a safe place (usually a person's home)!. People become frightened of being in public places, stores, or crowds, or of travelling alone, and are prone to panic attacks when they go out alone!. The phobia may consist of a cluster of different fears that overlap, often resulting in people who are too frightened to leave the safety of their own homes!. For this reason, agoraphobia is considered the most incapacitating of anxiety disorders!.

Specific phobias generally develop in young adults and, if left untreated, persist for decades!. When individuals are easily able to avoid the phobic situation, the impact of the phobia will not be as great!. However, when a person has to go to great lengths to avoid fears, the phobia becomes disruptive to normal functioning!. It's most important to get help!. Treatment or therapy will enable a person to work and have an active social life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

was my number one phobia for yrs!. i would hyperventilate whenever i had to talk on the phone!. and sometimes i would freak out and just not make sense when i was talking!. like my brain would freeze up!.
how did i get over it!. !? i read this book called Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and it just sort of changed the way i thought about things!. i could talk on the phone but i still didn't like it!.

then a few months ago i saw a guy named Paul McKenna on youtube videos and he did phobia cures in minutes and i was so amazed that i bought me a book on NLP and one on TFT tapping ,read the books ,did whatever applied to me and it's like i'm not even the same person i was!. just wiped out almost every problem i thought i had!.
the youtube videos were called I Can Change Your Life!. most amazing stuff i ever saw in my life and it worked on me just as fast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry, i don't care for talking to people on the phone!. i will do everything possible to keep the call as short as possible!. if i am on the phone with a talker, they complain that i don't talk enough because i just respond with "uh huh!." and other like responses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm an intelligent and talkative person, but picking up the phone and calling is so troublesome for me!. I'm also friendly and outgoing, but getting out of the house is a problem also!. So the person who spoke about agoraphobia probably is on the right track!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
