Help I have anxiety and shy to talk to boyfriend on phone call help?

[Anonymous]

I have a new boyfriend and I can’t make myself call I have huge panic attack. By text obviously it’s no problem but even in person I am more comfortable to talk and I look ridiculous as Im not ready talk on the phone. Im using voice messages to talk but on the phone I don't know why I’m so filled with anxiety. I think even when I have long phone call appointments and need answer questions I panic and cannot speak. But if it’s quick calls to make an appointment I’m okay.

Don't do the panic attack. Try doing something that scares you a lot before you talk to your boyfriend like catching giant spider with your hand or bungee jumping.

Your whole life is not such a big deal! You can play with it and have fun with it. Everyone dies at the end. There's no need to worry about anything. Some soldier right now is in a hospital in a third-world country with the doctor and other soldiers having to hold him down and shut him up as the surgeon slides the saw back and forth across the tibia and fibula of the soldier's leg. Slide, slide, slide. Think about that. Now think about how wimpy you are being so afraid to talk to your boyfriend. Stop that.

I kinda drank too much but you know, don't be so shy! Stop that! Stop taking embarrassment from every little thing. It's not a big deal. Everyone else does that too if you notice and look around instead of being so shy and embarrassed. So I'm abouta pass out but I think always same message from me. Be macho! Flex biceps! Think about death! Don't be shy!

You should tell him. If he loves, he'll understand and help you through it. Any other response from him means he's an asshole.
