..awwwww Karl....it sounds as though you have an actual phobia about it..I'm sure there are things that you could do to help with that, maybe you could 'practise' with answering machines and then you won't be talking to anyone..?...I do feel for you Karl, speaking on the phone can be quite scary, it's sad that you get so anxious about it...I'll google some stuff and see if there are any self help tips you could try...
