I HATE talking on the phone. I will take MySpace, MSN, Texting, or even e-mails over talking on the phone. I get SO uncomfortable, even if it's someone I know.
Like, I even hated dialing my ex boyfriend's home number KNOWING he was the only one home. I was terrified I'd get the number wrong :x
I don't mind talking to a few people that I know really well over the phone. But besides like my grandma I don't like to call them first. I won't call to make appointments or if I need help with something. I just won't, I never know what to say and stupid people always ask me questions that I don't understand or don't know the answer to. And I will not leave messages. I figure if they really want to talk to me they will call me back and if it's important I will just call them later.
The only person that I call is my boyfriend, that is the only time I actually call someone. I dislike using the phone, i'd much rather talk to someone else a different way. For business calls, i don't need to do those yet, so that's good. But when it comes to like ordering food from a restaurant for deliverly, i always hand the phone over to my boyfriend! Heh.
I know what you mean, I HATE talking to random people on the phone. But I hate leaving messages even more 'cause if you mess up, you can't do anything about it. And then whoever you left the message for can replay your fuck-up over and over again. ._.
But what I hate even more is when people are going door to door trying to convert you to their religion or sell stuff and I have to tell them we're not interested. Jeez, I always feel so bad when I have to do that. D:
I don't mind talking on the phone with someone as long as it's either a stranger or someone I know very, very well. Because then there's no pressure/you know they won't judge you/whatever. I really don't like it when acquaintances from school I barely know somehow get my number (ew) and call me 'just to talk'. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I like talking to people when I can see them /: Even internet talking is a little 'eh' with me still.
I hate when strangers at the mall or whatever come up to me and try and sell me stuff. I feel so bad saying no and telling them they annoy the shit out of me, so usually I end up sitting there listening to them ramble about their product for 10 minutes before I pluck up the courage to tell them I'm not interested. I'm such a push over lol ):
I'm perfectly fine talking face to face with people, even if they're creepy strangers on the bus stop or hot people hitting on me or a headmaster or something, it's no big deal.
BUT ON THE PHONE. Omg. I just stutter for a while and never know what to do with my other hand so I flap it around and pace like mad and do super long awkward pauses and imply things I seriously don't mean and do double entendres by the bucket. It's mortifyinggg. Even if it's like my parents or close friends. I still can't do it.
I just text them :(
THEY CAN'T BREAK YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SPINE
I don't like using the phone because I have really bad hearing and I need to ask them to repeat things at least three times -_- And I hate answering machines. I sound about 5 years old on those damn things.
If I can get away with it I'll text/e-mail. :P
I can't call people I don't know. I freeze up, and end up just standing there all "O___O;; ...!!" which is really pathetic.
i'm afraid of talking on the phone. And when someone i don't know calls me/picks up the phone i just don't answer. :B
I hate talking on phones. So. Much.
I prefer to text people or just talk to them in person. Phones are so boring and often awkward. ):
LOL. no.
I'm surprised there are this many people that freak out with phones, hahaha. I really hate calling to confirm plans too, because they usually want to talk afterward, and I really, really don't. ):

I absolutely hate it but I'm going to have to get over it at some point. X;D At almost 19 years old, like.
I had to speak to the bank a few days ago because something went wrong with my debit card, and I got put through to about three different people so that I could be talking to someone of the right department and the whole time I was just bricking it, thinking "they're going to think I'm totally stupid" which is a bit paranoid but that's me, sometimes. X3
Edit: Yeah, it's speaking to people I don't know for me too . I don't pick up my mobile phone if the number is withheld or not in my phone book as someone I know. x_x;;
