  Why the hell am I terrified of making a phone call?

  Because they might actually answer!

  What if it was a game that was played by you making phone calls to [insert horror trope here]?

  That one is social anxiety and is because in the past if you got excluded from your group of humans you’d starve or freeze to death. We aren’t evolved to deal with the hundreds and hundreds of people that the modern world requires. More used to like extended family groups and small communities.

    Is the pizza place not gonna deliver my pizza because I said “thanks, you too” when they said “enjoy your food” instead of “have a nice day” and fucked up my script?

      The pizza delivery person will invite themselves in and you will eat the pizza together.

      No but that’s what anxiety makes you think.
