Im new here and just thought I would say hi. I was just wondering if anyone here is ever afraid to talk to people on the phone? I know some would think that's silly but I struggle with it sometimes. Even with people I know or family members.

" Hi Joe and welcome to the group, I am new here as well :) I have to say I struggle with calling people that I know a lot, so I usually dont call anyone and if I do I kind of have to mentally prepare myself by trying to go through the conversation in my head. I wish I had some tips for you on how to overcome it but I honestly have not been able to overcome it myself other than to avoid it. Thank goodness for texting lol "

" Welcome, Joe! I absolutely hate talking on the phone. I remember being a little kid and my parents making me talk to relatives on the phone-it was awful!! Still is! It's so awkward all the time when you want to end the conversation. I just try to think of some conversation starters, and I even write them down sometimes. "
