I have no problem answering the phone, but I hate making calls, especially to people I don't know. I just get nervous and forget what to say and mumble or talk too fast or both, I much prefer to send a text or mail.
i dislike talking over the phone because it usually ends up with massive drawn out calls that were supposed to take 30 secs but end up being 15-20mins.
the types of body language that you use without thinking about it to hurry stuff along when you talk to someone face to face just isnt replicable over a phone, without sounding like a twat anyway.
I really only get nervous about important phone calls, or when my parents call at odd times during the week (which they've been doing annoyingly frequently as of late).
Seriously, Mom, I have a nineteen-hour class load this semester and that's NOT amusing. LEARN TO USE E-MAIL FOR SHORT MESSAGES. </rant>

i find that when i'm ringing someone to speak to them, i often run the conversation a thousand times through in my head. specifically on the first thing to say.
Eew. I'm glad that's not how my school works, but we make up for it with the homework load. Yuck.pffft 19 hours? try essentially a jobs worth of class load.... we used to have 9-6pm every day for an entire academic year, thats 40 hrs a week (1 hour for lunch) and thats before you have to do work in your own time (study, projects, experiments blah blah)!
then random calls from the rents get annoying lol
