i'm afraid of the phone

ok. i'm finally admitting it. i have a fear of phones. it's not a total phobia i guess because i CAN use one, but my stomach gets all nervous and i feel kind of sick when i hear it ring or when i know i need to make a call. it's so silly and weird, but it's been this way forever for me. it's so hard for me to keep in touch with anyone because whenever i want to call and see what's what, i just start feeling kind of yucky. i don't understand it at all. i hope it's not hereditary. i hope ivy isn't a total weirdo like her mama! i'm lucky because the people i care most about understand instead of thinking i hardly call or even answer because i don't care, but i have regretfully lost some friends due to negligence...i'd so much rather talk to someone in person, write a letter or an email, but of course that's not always possible or enough...

i'm not really asking anyone to help cure me or anything, because i doubt there is anything anyone can do, but i needed to get this out there and see if anyone else feels like this or...well...i don't know exactly what i'm trying to accomplish, it just feels good to put down a problem in writing for fresh minds to ponder

 

I'm not quite afraid of the phone, but I can't stand talking to most people on it. It's hard when there is no facial expression or subtle cues in body language to aid the conversation. And when there is an ackward silence, you can't do something with the person to fill the gap, you can only try to think of something else to say.
I do tend to get anxious when the phone rings when I'm not expecting a call from someone. I didn't used to be like this until I worked at a restaurant over this past year when Incompetence would call me on nearly EVERY day I had off asking me of a favor. I quit that job in March, though so the phone ring gets friendlier and friendlier everyday.

 

I strongly dislike phones. (Hate is such a hateful word. ) It annoys the hell out of me when they ring, and I don't pick up cause I don't feel like talking on it, and it keeps ringing and ringing.

 

i hate seeing people talking on their mobile, it just gives me the shits and i wanna smack the phone outta their hand

 

I feel the same way about bear traps.

 

I feel that way about sheep herders

i suggest you have a fist shoved up ur ass

 

Wow. Never heard of them. Good idea in theory (or rather, not in the US) but the drivers around here would torment you even more if you had them on your car.

 

yeah in qld (northern state of australia) we have the option of using them..of course no one does...

 

its a shame that the uni comp labs dont have sound so i couldnt get to hear what it said....your insults are weak and old...

 

from phones to cars...an obvious progression

 

it goes, Ls the red Ps the green Ps..... usually i dont have my plates on but i have one on the front at the moment

 

yes thats how these things work *blink*

 

what would you know about aussies? i bet you cant even pronounce the slang term correctly....

 

What color do you use if you just want to run over people?

Hypothetically.

 

awww shucks are ur eyes getting all misty?

 

most people like to keep that on the down side uno? haha.. i think the colour of their blood and entrails dripping form the car would suffice....
