Not attending a call again So i usually dont pick up calls anyways( very heavy stutter here), But im close to graduating and have given my cv in a couple of places. And I get calls sometimes from them for test or interview (idk why they dont fucking email when it's right there on the CV and my mail ffs.) I usually get a friend or my brother to pick.up the call, whoever's near me at that moment. A Friend recently said that i should gather the courage to pick these calls myself as there are alot of times when no ones near me to pick up the call. So the other day i got a call and i decided to buckle up and take the call. Attended and couldn't say hello for the first 10 sec, the lady on the other side said hello a couple of times and then disconnected. I was torn but the phone rang again and the same thing happened again. I later got a friend to call back and decided to never take a call again. The problem is that its been 2 days and i can't fuckin get this out of my mind. Whenever this event comes to mind, i can't help getting sad and close to crying. Never would've thought at age 22 by biggest fear would be talking on the phone. Just came to vent :/.
