I've had telephone phobia most of my life. For scheduled calls this phobia does not surface at all.
The fear is triggered in anticipation of the call (both calling out and in). During the call the fear is absent. #phonephobia

It's also much better now than maybe 10 years ago. Shout out to all those afflicted. I feel your anxiety. It can get better. #phonephobia
And for people who don't get what I'm talking about, the Wikipedia articles on #phonephobia is a quick read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone…
