Hi,
I recently started a new job, and I love it. however it's an admin job, and although its not ABSOLUTELY necessary to use the phones, it's going to be part of any admin job 99.9% of the time.
As I'm on this site, I have social phobia, and part of that makes it very differcult to use phones. I only use a phone when I'm completely alone so I'm 100% sure no-one will hear me.
Its not having a perosn on the other end that's scary, it's having people listening in or around me that scares me.
Always feel like their judging me, and if I were to make a mistake they'd all be there to wistness it.
ANYWAY....
My boss has asked me to make a few phones calls and I've slickly got my way out of them and made emails instead, but I need to cover reception where I work on 14th of Oct, and I'm so scared.
Has anyone has this trouble and over come it? Or in the same place as me?
Appreciate any thoughts or opinions.
