Why do phone calls give me such anxiety?

My dad just makes me call for like our internet services and stuff and everytime I'm on the line with these representatives it just gives me such anxiety....1.) is because I may need to give them info I don't have and stuff.....but like ugggh it just gives me so much anxiety and it sucks...why is this though? :(

a lot of people feel this way. it's really no wonder, since almost all voice to voice calls, nowadays, are about a 'situation' and are, likely, not to/from a person you actually know.

fact is, we're out of practice, and it's never good news we're delivering or receiving. it's unpleasant.

It's not just you. No one enjoys those types of calls, and that's why your father hands 'em off to you.

When you need something from people it's a good idea to have all the info you might need to hand.
So, account numbers; accurate description of any problem; when you noticed there was a problem...etc.
You can jot all this down before you make your call !
That way it's all to hand.
Planning before you act is a good trick to learn in life.

maybe you're just not confident in your ability to speak/communicate clearly, afraid of being judged by whoever is on the other end? not sure.
