I’m so proud of myself (1 Viewer)

I hate phone calls. One time my mom made me call the vet and as soon as someone picked up and said hello I freaked out and shoved the phone to my mom. It’s not fun

And I’ve been putting off certain phone calls longer than I should (2 to reschedule appointments, one to set up a wisdom teeth consultation). The wisdom teeth one has been a pursuit in the past few months, but especially the last few days. But today I managed to make all 3 phone calls right in a row

I probably would have “spread them out” (aka made one and then “forgot” or even actually forgot about the rest), but because I made them late in the workday I had to do it all at once, I couldn’t pretend like I’d wait an hour and do the next one. For some people this isn’t a a big deal ofc, but it is for me. While I’m not as scared of phone calls now as 5 or so years ago I still avoid them more than I should. So when I make one, let alone 3, I feel good about myself. Unless they went badly but these didn’t, one of the girls was actually really nice and didn’t even sound as done with her life as a lot of receptionists do

This went longer than expected but give me praise peasants

I have major phone anxiety too. I'll put off phone calls long enough to have negative consequences. Good on you for getting it done!

Yeah, more than once actually my fear of phone calls resulted in me not having a medication I need. Not those time though, no negative consequence here
