I have horrible social anxiety so it’s not just the phone, but I actually sometimes find phone calls/voice chats more scary than even face to face interactions.

Also weirdly enough I’m actually less anxious about a video call than a regular phone call. When I can’t see the person I’m speaking to I feel under this immense amount of pressure to constantly be saying something - can’t handle a pause or silence. So I get into a real panic.

My phone has been on do not disturb since 2022
