Re: Phone anxiety help? - November 16th 2013, 03:21 AM

I used to get really scared with phone calls too, and honestly it took a lot of practice for me to actually face the fear. I've had to call a lot of places for college as well, or even for volunteer, so that made it easier.

My therapist told me that maybe one thing I can do before I make a call is write down exactly what it is that I want to ask or explain to them. That way, I'm not sitting there stammering or thinking of what to say, because I have what to say right in front of me. Maybe that can help?


The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
