Phone Call Anxiety Hey y’all. I’m currently struggling A LOT when speaking on the phone. For context, I am using DAF apps on my phone during presentations and sometimes school project meetings etc. They don’t cause me to be 100% fluent but the blocks are much softer. But of course with phone calls those apps don’t work. I dread making them sm and avoid them until I literally cannot. During meetings, I am not super anxious but phone calls oh boy. Have y’all tried anything that has helped with fluency and anxiety during phone calls?
