I'm like that too. Always hated it when the phone rang at work and I hoped to God that someone else would answer it. I never liked answering the phone and, if it came down to the point where I had to, I would quickly pass over to a supervisor or someone else. I lost my first job from not being able to talk to strangers, but I wouldn't say it's abnormal. Depending on where you want to work, it may not be a good thing though. If it bothers you in your life, I would seek councelling to open up more. I just try to talk to people a little more, but if it doesn't bother you at all, I wouldn't worry about it.
Is it normal to be afraid of answering the phone?
