how can i overcome this

idk, ask a therapist.

keep talking on the phone until you’re no longer anxious

I had to do this. I used to stutter a lot but my job in the past year made it easy

drink on the job

this is me
never really goes away
but make some small easy to follow scripts of common situations you can refer to

real. i dunno why but i HATE being on the phone like i actually dread it. i’ve overcome most of my anxieties, but this one won’t go away no matter how often i do it. so weird.

U have telephobia

I still have it to some degree even after a year of full time work on the phone

This a zoomer fear idk sounds like you cooked

kendrick wife voice you reeeeaaally need some therapy dog

it gets easier kinda

I just get boosted up in caffeine and bang out any calls I need to make

Channel your inner Pat Pespas.

Pretty much just practice unless you want a full desensitization program. You can ask chat gpt for that or just for tips and s***

And make sure to eat a full b707 as well

just gotta firm it

u used to be scared of falling over when u walk as well

growth n that

I hate talking on the phone too op. Had to do that s*** for my old job too. Especially when you’re calling to someone who’s mad or angry. Like ppl will scream at you and s*** when they can’t see your face while I gotta stay friendly. Plus I lowkey can’t hear s*** on phones, my hearing f***ed I guess.

I always used to write down what I was gonna say before calling someone so that I didn’t forget or f*** up while talking to them

Idk why this so specific to phones cus irl Im not that nervous at all

Cocaine is a good conversation starter

Probably a few phrases that you'll use every call that u can write down @OP

This will free up your mind a little bit from having to recite from memory everytime

If this is possible for u

Might sound stupid in theory but try it out, congrats on having a job i guess too

exposure therapy. im terrible on the phone. its okay to slip up and make mistakes when you speak, just apologize, correct yourself, and keep it moving.
