I consider being in a conversation with someone else to be a reason not to answer the phone. But one issue I have, and one that's escalating, is the belief that ALL phone calls, emails, LJ comments, ANY contact whatsoever from anyone other than about six people is really going to be them saying 'And by the way, you suck and I hate you, so die, you putrid whore.' It's not rational at all, but it feels like the more I let myself believe that's what people are going to say to me the easier it is to believe that's what ALL people are going to say to me. Whether it's self-doubt or something else, it's not a trait I like, and I have to work on changing that. But since I hate medication, even though this might actually be a social anxiety, I'm going to have to work on it myself rather than by taking a pill for it.

If I'm ignoring the phone or the email because I'm actually busy, that's one thing, but ignoring it because I believe the person on the other end just called me up to spit vitriol in my ear? That's another, and a bad one.
