The phone calls - I feel seen. I will literally wiggle out of it by casually asking my husband to do it. I would love to know why this is such a trigger - perhaps growing up during the * I have to ask my crushes mom if he can come to the phone* era.
My crippling premail anxiety embarrasses me at work every day - I read, reread, reread again and still agonise before I press send. And then when I do press send I have to close my laptop and walk away for a few mins - so cool, so grown-up. But I am confident AF on a pair of skis, funnily enough. Thanks for sharing - hope to see good news about you passing a driving test very soon !
Same with the driving… I passed whilst heavily pregnant at 33 on my 3rd attempt. It was just nerves that got me on the first one and the second test went great but I failed to do a complete stop! Try again, the last lessons I had made all the difference. It’s much harder starting to drive in your 30s but it’s totally possible and one of my favourite things to do on my own. X
Apparently it’s a random pick and choose: I get the phone call phobia, but at the same time I love driving, flying, surfing and regularly seek out opportunities to hurl myself down a mountain on skis or bikes, flying over obstacles.
