I'm like what- do you think they are going to laugh at you over the phone. And I think yes, they will laugh at me. I don't know why.


Yes, that's what the subconscious mind thinks. It is the place where you're true beliefs are stored, although most of them aren't rational at all.

Well, try jumping around, exercise a bit, and wear your best outfit, or however you think you are best looking


Not a bad Idea, sure no one see you in your best outfit but if you feel more confident in yourself you make get a better result on the phone.

Chav try talking out loud, reading things out loud more. Then youll be more comfortable hearing yourself talk when your on the phone. How might the phonecall experience change if the person couldnt hear you, but they just kept on talking. A bit better right? Oh and if you get nervous try talking more slowly to reduce your breathing, itll calm you down more.
