    I do the same thing - even when I thought I was in labour at 31 weeks (32? I can't remember now), I waited til hubby was home so he could call :-/

    i can answer calls at work just fine (60 a day on average) - but i hate making calls. if i can deal with something using email or text i will, and will put off other calls until i have no choice but to make them. once i'm on the call, i can deal with it - hell, i'm on the phone all day at work - it's working myself up to actually be able to make the call in the first place

    Oh thank goodness, I'm not the only one! I am massively phobic about phones - I flatly refuse to answer my home phone and will only pick up my mobile if it's a friend or family member, or I'm expecting a call from someone. I despise having to make phone calls... my asthma has flared up lately and I've got a heinous chest infection that could easily be sorted with a renewed script for asthma meds and some antibiotics for my chest but I'd rather just live with the constant barking and wheezing than pick up the stupid phone and make a Dr's appt!

    I am glad I am not the only one!
    I hate phone calls...coming or going.
    I get anxiety attacks over making or receiving one (especially when I don't know who it is) a phone call.
    DH used to do them all for me but now I am on my own I have to do them...and I am getting better.
