Up until a few years ago, I suffered terrible anxiety every time I had to pick up a telephone.  I couldn't phone anyone unless I knew them very well, including things like restaurant takeout or information services without freezing up and often hanging up the phone as soon as someone answered.

Reel, I know someone else who went through this with phones.  



I had anxiety about something else (due to culture shock), it lasted a few weeks until someone told me to smarten up. Your phone thing is probably cured now?  The person I knew who had the phone problem hadn't gotten over it last time I talked to her, in person.  I used to work with her, and she couldn't pick up a phone.  I wonder what it is about phones?

Okay that's funny in a sad anxiety kind of way.

I used to have moderately debilitating anxiety.  I was terrified of telephones, on occasion, I would have to run from crowded places due to an attack, public speaking was much like an execution, etc.  I was also extremely shy.  On the positive side, smashing those issues is one of my proudest achievements.  Through a combination of training, planning, luck, the girl in the red dress, and determination, I overcame them.  At 24 I couldn't touch a phone receiver without breaking out in a cold sweat.  By 34, I became vice president of business development of an internationally recognized firm, use a phone regularly (though I still dislike it), and regularly make presentations in front of hundreds of people (almost) without issue.

I was much the same way.  High anxiety that was overcome through necessity and duty.  I can public speak my ass off now and actually get invited to facilitate events :)

Back when I was teaching english, I had one class at the beginning where I completely froze up.  No one knows this :)  I'm very comfortable public speaking now - the bigger the crowd the better (although I'm shy one on one - talking to a group or crowd is no problem).
