I am not the type of person who enjoys talking on the phone, but it is the only way for us to comunicate during the summer. The problem is, I get extremely tense when talking to him on the phone and barely breathe, but in when talking to him in person, I am perfectly fine and we have a good time. My question is; How can I talk to him on the phone without getting so nervous? Please help me out! Reply to this Question

I think you could try to sit with you your back up or even stand up without pressing the lungs area, and imagine you're not talking on the phone but face to face, try not to use time stalling devices all the time like mmmmm. yeh, it's ok ? did you? and try to pause please this is not a diving competition BREATHE!!, it's something which will help you for further studies and professional life to dear, practice helps and as a philologyst and teacher I promise we all have to practise to sound like that people on the radio, take the time to record yourself reading alOud and analyse your failures,ask people if you repeat some words to much and try to avoid it and do breathing exercises, inspire deep, exhale slow before you actually phone and try not to talk too much boys like people listening to them ok?
good luck

 I do that to.Its very hard on the phone as you dont know what they are doing.Well try relaxing and sitting down.Dont
stand up and think about him and what he may be doing.Just speak to him as you normally would.Remember he proberly feels just like that when speaking to you on the phone.
Relax and enjoy the fact that you can acctually speak to him.

 i have the same problem and im not entirely sure myself how u can overcome this but i find writting down a few notes u wanna tell him before he calls on a piece of paper often helps to relax abit.Dont pace up and down maybe try siting on ur bed.
