Too Nervous to Call

Right now I am scared to make a call to an owner and to my boss. Both have short fuses. I am hyperventilating and will have to walk to the sea for a few minutes and pray for strength to do it. I know exactly how you feel. I also hate listening to phone messages. I'm not sure why I am scared to do so - probably because my boss has left so many nasty messages on the phone for me. So, Let's be strong together and make the calls. You first!

I used to work in sales, and learnt early on that worrying about picking up the phone is far worse than actually doing it! This discussion is an older one now so I know you got good news when you did. Wasn't so bad huh?!

I'm usually too nervous to make a phone call. I don't know what has happened to me over the years but i have gotten worse and worse. I get nervous and feel stupid when I'm talking to people I don't know on the phone. I avoid making phone calls to about everyone but family. I know what you mean though.

I do find myself feeling nervous when I have to make some phone calls. I normally put them off as long as possible. Aren't you glad you made your call though? I read the other discussion about the results of that call.

hello katsmeow good luck to you-all in hearing some good news about your new home. what are you-all looking for a bigger house to live in? or just needing or wanting to move somewhere different? thanks for sharing. and i get nervous just calling the doctors office or somewhere like that to make an appointment for myself to go see the doctor if need be. lol and if i were you, i would wait for a couple of more hours to see if you heard back from the place where that you put in that application for the home and if i haven't heard back from them say around one o'clock or so this afternoon, then i would probably call and ask them if they have heard anything yet. let us all know around here at Mylot what the news was about you-all getting to move into a different home. take care and have a beautiful day today!

Yes i usually nervous when i phone the girl that i like. it make my heart will fast beating. Because i really affraid that i will do a mistake in front of her..

I'm that way frequently. I don't like making phone calls and it's worse to call people that I don't know to ask questions or to inquire about things. Sometimes it takes quite a bit of time to work myself up and to convince myself to make the phone call. I think I've developed some sort of phobia with phones so that's why I hate making phone calls. I avoid doing it at all costs unless I know the person well.

i have to really think about this one.i think the last time i was afraid to make a call was dealing with a person i liked. i didn't want them thinking i was trying to bombard them. i knew they were a busy person,but i just really wanted to hear from them. so i didn't want them to feel pressured to answer. I would say on the home thing you should defintely give it a little time. that's a major purchase and they have to go through all the proper protocols to make sure you can get with no hassles. It may even take a few days to finalize paperwork. i I would give it 24 to 48 hours. Then call back to see how it's going. that's a good period of time for them to process it. Good luck Mylot friend.

The last time that I was too nervous to make a call it was for my wedding. It was a few days before the big day and I was supposed to recieve a call from the dressmakers about the alterations on my dress and wether it would be ready in time. I was terrified that if I called they would tell me that there was no way it would be ready in time. I had no backup dress and it took me the better part of the day before I finally got over my nerves and called. Turned out that I was nervous for nothing because everything was right on schedual and they wanted me to pick it up the next day. I guess there are times in all of our lives where we are too nervous for one reason or another,LOL.

Hi, kat, fisrt hope you hearing the good news early. The last time i was too nervous to make a lllcall is in the last year, when after I took the post graduate examination, I was hearing the news. It is nervouse everyday to wait , i do not want ro hear the bad news. At last,happy to know i past the exam.

i have 'social anxiety' i'm not sure the exact details of what all it encompasses, the dr said to come back and start therapy and i never did so here i am still 3 years later and i can't do certain every day tasks. calling some people is one of those things. i just can't pick up the phone and call someone i don't know.

Nothing wrong will happen if you call. Instead you will hear it straight from them, that's it. If they wanted you then they will call, but if you insist calling them first, it's okey, they don't see you yet, your on the phone remember. I have difficulty calling too before, but since i was able to develop more on my personality and career, hey what is it that holds me, this is my chance, i have no other choice but to do this. Besides, don't be scared if they rejected you, there are still more companies there waiting for you, this is the positive attitude you have to develop yourself. And i achieve or overcome that fear i have before.

I feel this way pretty often, and it usually reflects your inner state, like if you are nerous about something you could be nervous doing things. Sometimes I'm nervous to call when I need to ask about things I consider embarrasing in one away or another, and even though I know I wont meet those people I still feel nervous. But I learned to sort of stop myself from being scared and force myself to make that call.
