First, the common symptoms of telephone phobia:
Did you get caught?
The telephone is often silent.
I feel nervous and anxious when I hear the bell.
Unwilling to take the initiative to answer the phone
Never answer strange phone calls.
Didn't answer the call and didn't want to call back
Hang up in a hurry
Second, why are we afraid to call?
1. Telephone communication aggravated the sense of losing control.
Telephone communication is mandatory and immediate, so we need to respond to the last sentence immediately. Communication methods such as WeChat and email have more buffer time and space, which will make us feel that the future is predictable and thus gain a sense of security.
It may not be the phone itself that is afraid.
You are afraid of failed phone calls, such as being broken up, criticized and fired on the phone. Fear made a wrong connection with the mobile phone, and since then, it has been avoiding it.
I can't stand being the focus of attention.
Answering the phone in a crowded place will make people exaggerate their mistakes, think that everyone is paying attention to themselves, and feel that people around them have become potential listeners and point fingers at themselves.
4. Telephone communication needs to be studied
The rhythm, words and expressions on the phone are different from typing and face-to-face communication. These unspoken rules of calling are that practice makes perfect. We are used to using popular words and expression packs, and gradually lose the knowledge of making phone calls.
