I am almost always in that space. 
 @51fb1883 I hate using the phone but usually I can make myself. Today I'm like... how do I talk to humans?

It’s never so bad once I’m in the phone call, but there’s always an inertia I have to overcome.  I usually just end up postponing calls until I absolutely have to. 
 @51fb1883 This phone call is going to be awkward and I haven't quite developed the script for it yet. That's how bad I am at phone calls.

Ooh, I do the same thing!  I rehearse it in my head, and sometimes even make notes on any questions I want to ask.
