Hey Mark here's an idea: Find a bridge, jump off it.

:laugh3: Why do things always end up sliding off the deep end in this website? When you think about it, we use the phones all the time (more or less), since this whole damn thing - the internet - is run on phone lines! It's just a weird language though - sounds like some high-pitched tones only a dog could hear well these days. (streaming data).. What a concept when one thinks of it - from keystrokes to electronic pulses to computer bits to more electronic pulses to wires and then on to light, and back again. All so we can goof off!:P (sure beats some other uses for it though..)

Mark's trademark Snappy Questions to Snappy Answers..

All I know it that movies are partly to blame. Someone always calls, hangs up, and then there's an explosion across the street (and a big fireball). But that's the other way around, so why be afraid of being the caller?

And did you happen to see the film "Telephone Booth"?:rolleyes:

Mark, good lord, find a new smiley like this.. :dunce:

I think you'll find it's all one and the same.:rolleyes:
No it's not, I love my phone. It's the awesomest phone ever. It takes great pictures, and lets me text friends, and use twitter, and post on Coldplaying when I'm stuck on the bus.

I just hate talking on it. And it's worse when it's a cellphone, because everyone stares at you.

...But yes, after a quick google, it appears that it (whatever it is) is called telephonophobia, and it's classified as a form of social anxiety. :book2: Which makes sense.

Telephonophobia? Sounds like supercalafragalisticexpialadocious! ;) I suppose, a lack of familiarity with talking on the phone, or if it's a more personal conversation.. I used to be afraid of the phone once, and then I did more talking on it, and then conversations came more naturally. Of course, that was back in the day when if you picked up the phone during a lightning storm, you might get electrocuted!

I have no idea and I don't care what this thread has turned into, but I get that problem Sara mentioned when I'm supposed to call somebody who I don't know very well, or somebody who I don't know at all, or somebody who I've never called on the phone before.

It's only a small problem now, though, when I was younger it was worse.
