Can't make proper phonecalls

[melissa1466]

i hear ya. i'm like that too. whenever i HAVE to make a call, to like school or something. i mumble, i say stupid stuff that don't even make sense, my heart pounds fast, and i get all sweaty. i hate it !!. also i hate when i see people talk on the phone, and they have no problem i just think to myself "how in the world do they do that! " lol

I used to feel like someone had sucker punched me when i had to make a call... During my teenage i couldnt even talk to my tuition teach to ask her what time i had to come for class... when i did force myself to call i used to stutter, my face used to go funny and ears started to burn.... I still struggle with conversation, when i have to order-in i become too loud cos of fear that i may screw up and the the person at the other end might floor me.... My seniors at the office are so comfortable and confident on the phone... i feel even smaller than them when they make phone calls in front of me... Just a realization that i am a no good damn loser!

I can't stand the phone. I'm a huge mumbler and people can't understand me, I always get (sir I can't understand you) it seems the only way I can get people to understand me is talk like some game show host. It sounds weird but it works for me, only in the act of communicating by means of speaking, I still get incredibly nervous.
