Answers:
Nothing at all, many people are like that, dont let it bother you, I used to be like that, it helps if you cough a bit and take a deepbreath before you make the phone call (cough the get anything out fo your throat)

Try and be confident and sound happy!.

Because im also nervous i usualy just say " Hi this is Ryan may i speak to Sean (Not my name, i just picked my best friend's anmes)

Start with a pelasent hello, say your name and then just ask to speak to whomever your calling, if they ask you to wait 1 second, say ok thank you (or something like that just thank them), just try and be polite, if the person dosnt get the person on the line and says hi to yuo (they're probably trying to be friendly) just say fine and you!. Usaly they wont go much farther than that, and if they do smile while talking, sounds starnge because they cant see you but they'll hear it in your voice!.

This is assuming your calling a friend or someone if its for buisness its alot different and you should probably ask someone else, im not the guy for that =P!.

just be polite, and talk with a smile, they'll hear it!.

If your nervouse about talking to the person cut straight to the point, like i said above, say Hello, state your name, ask to speak to whomever you want to speak with and thats it



Hope that helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have this also!! i am kinda scared of some of my friends' dads because they like, sound all serious when theyre joking around and so im afraid they would pick up instead of my friend!. i also cant have people looking at me whenever i am doing an individual task (listening to ipod, reading, talking on the phone, on the computer, etc!.) so i dont know if its normal, but your not the only one!! : )Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was just reading this question when my 13 yr old daughter looked over my shoulder and said: "I TOTALLY HAVE THAT TOO!. I HATE NOT KNOWING WHO WILL PICK UP!"

So yeah it is normal!. Try doing things to make yourself less nervous!. For example, volunteer at a help-line or donation call centre!. Or do other things like drama class!. Anything that forces you out of your comfort zone!. It is hard at first but will pay off big time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's pretty normal!. i used to have that problem, and still get nervous when i call people!. the best way to do it is just simply overcome your fear in Christ's name!.

just go on, hesitation will come, but dont hang up!. confidence is a virtue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this is a personal insecurity, you need to lighten up!. You are being too hard on yourself, I believe you are nervous what others may think of you!. In actuality you are only making things harder for yourself by acting this wayWww@Answer-Health@Com

depending on your personality - nothing!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
