I always manage to fuck it up 😭 I’m way more anxious on phones so my heart rate goes up as soon as I ring 


combined with my body’s trauma response preparing to be punished for being sick


I end up stuttering and I can never just say I’m sick and leave it at that I panic. and as soon as they answer my “script” just disappears 


I have a new manager at work and he’s a scary grumpy old man so he picked up and I just went “hi it’s livvymax, I’m sorry I’m sick so I won’t be in” and he went “oh, k.” I panicked because I was too blunt (Im usually too apologetic) but he didn’t ask what was wrong so I just said “yeah sorry I’m really sick” you just said that doofus 😭 he sounded annoyed and was like “oh, k, thanks.” So I said sorry… thanks.. bye ☠️ 


It was so awkward I always get brain fart on phone calls. I wanted to be like “hi, it’s me, just letting you know I woke up feeling unwell so I won’t be in work today, I’m very sorry” 


But whenever I overthink it I end up overexplaining and stuttering 😭 which is what happened last time and they couldn’t hear me explaining which made it worse so I wanted to keep it brief 😭



Anyone else struggle to call out?!
