Felt zero anxiety today going into two phone calls For almost my entire life, I would completely avoid using the phone, and I'd opt for trying to figure out a way to do it on a website, email, or chat. Today, I cancelled my previous health insurance and scheduled a dentist appointment, both over the phone. The listeners were patient through all my stutters and it went just fine! I don't think I've ever felt like this.
