Because human brains aren't supposed to be able to do emotional and mental parkour like completely redirecting our focus on a new topic in under a second without prior warning.

For me personally, if it's a call I expect, it drops the anxiety levels by considerable amount. Even better, if I can prepare a plan/scenario for the call, and take notes during it.

Of course, if it's someone from my close family or friends, that also helps. But unexpected calls from unknown numbers (or known, but from like work or distant acquaintances) freak me out.

I can handle phonecalls from friends and family. Anyone else I just won't pick up. Screw you buddy.

Incoming calls I can handle. But me calling somewhere? Hell naw!
