Re: Phone anxiety - April 18th 2021, 04:26 PM

I still have phone anxiety but not to the same degree as it was growing up. The biggest factor is that I started a job at an integrative health clinic after university as the clinic manager. That involved calling clients and answer the phone to book appointments, answer inquiries, etc. I'm now fine with work-related phone calls, especially since I've built a rapport with most of the people/clients that I'm on the phone with any given day, but other calls like for personal reasons still give me pause.

The biggest difference for me now is that I can talk myself into doing it, it just might take me a little longer.
