"Hey mom, some random dude on the internet thinks you're strong enough to pick me up, wanna see if he's right?"

:laugh3:

 

It would be more like a run and jump,

"Catch Me!"

 

 

And then see what would happen :nice:

Welcome to the club. :uhoh: I hate talking on phones. Especially when I have to do the calling. No idea why.
I'm sure there's a phobia for that. Is there a phobia for that?

I'm kinda like this! Like I get sorta nervous while I'm waiting for the person on the other end to pick up:worried:

As I said, phonophobia?:rolleyes:

Telephonophobia is fear of telephones, but that isn't exactly the same as fear of being called.

Same here, I'm always afraid they'll actually pick up. :lol:

Yeah Mark check a fucking dictionary now and then why don't you

that's a fear of loud sounds or voices, not making phone calls!

 

But loud sounds or voices on the phone would qualify!:P

 

Anyway, I was still close. It's simply telephonophobia, and a person who has that fear can be described as "phonephobic".

There's nothing that says it can't be. It's a legitimate source like many others.:smug:

Okay then, that proves my point. Phones =/= talking on phones, so telephonophobia =/= fear of calling people.
