Call you maybe

As long as I can remember, I've always been terrified of making phone calls. Whether it's to a close friend, or to my credit card company, or even to my parents, the act of dialing always sends my heart rate up. My stomach goes into knots, and I'm often left in a cold sweat.

Thank goodness for texting then!! I hate calling people cuz then I feel like I gotta make small talk sometimes, when I really just want to get straight to the point. But i totally suck a leaving voicemails...i always leave the most awkward msgs =x

Haha I'm only reserved on phone calls due to voice distortion, it's so terrible! And I'm extremely apprehensive regarding video chats lol, even if it's w/ family members.

I've never done video chat. I just... can't. But I have accidentally butt-Facetime'd a couple of friends. Even now, I have no idea how the heck. Oh, and last week my phone which was in a pouch decided to Facetime my ex. WHAT. I hate you, iPhone.

I think part of my fear of talking on the phone is that I've heard myself on the answering machine before, and holy cow do I sound like a dork.
