I just realized today that I suffer from fear of using the telephone. There are only about ten people I'm comfortable with on the phone. That includes family.

it wasn't for me as well, and I hate to chit chat too...well, on the phone anyway.....hmm, in person too come to think of it, unless I know someone really well.....and we're drunk
I hate talking on the phone as well. I don't like not being able to see a person's facial expression when I talk with them. I try to keep phone convos with everyone, as short as possible. I especially hate "chatting" on cell phones.

I'm sure we could talk up a storm.
Though, CelApok makes a fine point... phone talk would be odd to some extent, unless we/she/it/they met in person first. I've had phone conversations with about 10-12 people I've met on the net, and they seem to go fine though. My nervous energy usually translates into dumb jokes, which break ice and can dispel awkard crap.
That IS how it looks unfortunately, not how it gets that way thankfully.
