How do I stop being so awkward while on the phone? It’s gotten so bad, I’ll usually start a phone call with “hello, u-u-um... s-s-so I.... haha sorry um.... okay so I called for... u-um d-d-d-the speeding um ticket” This literally just happened. It makes me feel so much more embarrassed when people say “I’m sorry but can you repeat that, I have no idea what you just said”. I feel like crying LOL I wish I were mute :( I always prepare what I want to talk about- but my brain flatlines as soon as the call starts. I always have to take a deep breath right after I stutter and hold it, I also clench my eyes right afterwards. It’s a weird kind of tic I do. Man I’m so embarrassed right now. I work at a call center, I start taking calls on Friday and I’m so nervous.
