It's not exactly normal, but it's not uncommon, either. It sounds like a mild and specific kind of social phobia, but those can be overcome with some effort on your part. Unless you work at a reception desk or a call center, it probably doesn't affect your life enough to seek therapy for it, but do some research about how to relieve anxiety and put those tips into practice.
A lot of people don't like making phone calls. I don't like to do it either, but for me, it doesn't rise to the level of anxiety, just a mild feeling of "tsk, can't I just email instead?"
Is it normal that I have a lot of anxiety when using the phone?
