Phone calls were (and still are to an extent) hard for me to get used to. I used to be similar to you and absolutely terrified of answering the phone or having to call someone. The only thing that did...

Listen...I really understand there are times when I can’t text...and I do not text during those times. I’m talking about something specific here. I was looking for a place to vent...not argue with som...

I completely understand where you are coming from, but there are times where you can't just text: phonecalls from doctors, scheduling appointments, phone interviews, work calls, etc. There's so many b...

With respect...no. I have had this response before...and...no. I will not face a fear that I have had since I have had a working memory. I am well beyond young adulthood, and I have faced this fear th...

Observations after becoming an ESL teacher and learning another language.

Observations after becoming an ESL teacher and learning another language. Hey, I've always wanted to share my thoughts on this since I've thought it was interesting. Before college, I wasn't fluent wh...
