I am not nearly as bad as all that and I can and do make phone calls when I need to do so, and can even get through them pretty okay. It's not that using the telephone scares me or fills me with anxiety... I just hate it, simple as that. I simply do not enjoy talking on the phone, not to strangers, not to family members, not to anybody. It sucks. That is all.
