Telephobia: Why Young People Are Being Trained to Make Calls

Many young people feel anxious about phone calls, a phenomenon known as 'telephobia'.

Schools and companies are now teaching them how to make calls.

A quarter of young adults rarely answer their phones.

This fear stems from not knowing who's calling, concerns about how they sound, and a preference for digital communication.

Some view calls as an invasion of personal space.

Phone training helps improve communication skills and ease call-related anxiety.

Many adults also avoid phone calls, suggesting a broader trend toward alternative communication methods.
