Phone calls are full of uncertainty. It's like a normal conversation, but you can't hear the person properly because the sound information is distorted and you can't get any body language cues. I'd say about 90% of the information you'd get in a face-to-face conversation is lost in a phone call. What's worse is that you know the other person is losing the same amount of information from what you say for the same reasons, and could feel the same anxiety you do. All that uncertainty can lead to anxiety, panic etc. :/
IIN I panic getting phone calls,messages & having to call people back?
