phobia or not?
Question:
Answers:
I don't think she really has a phobia about phones. I think she is just a little shy.
There really is a phobia to just about everything, including phones.
Other Answers:
no, it's called comisociphobia, not phoneaphoia
Tell her to put a condom on the phone, and she will be phine.
Some people just really don't like using the phone. However, some people are going to think she's lazy or a bad friend, so she should reconsider this "phoneaphobia".
She may just be shy to talk to your parents.
i dont think so, but i know sometimes im scared to call people because they might be doing something way more important then talking to me. so i guess i like to hold calling people - usally i like when people call me.
i guess just don't ask her to call you anymore. take control of communication!
no such thing, maybe she doesn't like the phone. nothing wrong with that. sometimes you have to pee and can't do it while someone is yacking away on the phone.
why do you see a need to "fix" it. leave her be. maybe it's not a "problem" to her.......
I never heard of that before but you learn something new everyday.
I've got a friend like that, some people just don't like the phone, talking in person, online is easier, so for my friend she doesn't want to spend the money to call anyone.
maybe she just doesn't like to tak on the phone because she feels she has notin to tak bout. thats kind of how i am i have a cingular cellphone and most of my minutes go to rollover. if there is notin to tak bout it sucks cuz u stay silent on the phone nd it's embarrasing. i understand her completely nd it's not phobia.
There's a phobia for everything these days.. so yeah she probably does.. I'm not sure if phoneaphobia is the actual scientific term for it but i'm sure she probably does have a fear of phones.
It might be possible that this is a phobia. I guess I would, if this was a friend of mine, just keep reassuring her that it's okay to call you and her other friends.
It is not a phobia at all, some people do not find themselves comfortable to express them face to face, &feel free to tell every thing in writing. that might be the reason. If you want one to be frank enough ,you have to win one's faith.
no phobia, it is just more real to talk on the net or in person.
Phobias are "funny" things, most can't be explained. Nervousness, avoiding it, It does sound like your friend is suffering from some sort of phobia. Before you go trying to be a super hero and saving her from the evil phone monster, ask her if she feels she wants/needs help. (some people(like me) don't want to make a big deal about it, but want people aware of it for future references) Maybe you could just make her life easier by not calling her and not having her call you. If she is more comfortable chatting online, you should respect her wishes. I have an extreme fear of sharks, i've tried to get rid of it, but it hasn't worked, and it makes me feel better knowing that my friends have my back, if we go to a video store, they walk in front of me and hide the shark movies. Yes, it does seem funny, but it makes me a lot more comfortabe. You should just try and make her feel normal, don't make it a big deal, it's just part of life.
I call it a HOMEBODY
that pretty much the way I am
I like my friends and treat them like V.I.P.'s
when they call or I see them
but rarley ever call someone
Don't take this personally.
that's just the way they are.
