nervous to ft with my little

[babys-daddy]

my little always wants to FaceTime or call, but we've only done so twice. thats because for apparently no reason, it makes me beyond nervous. we often send videos on instagram, so it's not like I'm uncomfortable. I am nowhere near uncomfortable with my little, but it just makes me so nervous and I feel insanely bad about it. this might stem from other anxiety issues, and my general dislike for phone calls, any advice?

Firstly, are those 2 fat rats in your avatar?? SO CUTE.

 

Okay now on to your post. Have you tried being on call but having an established activity to do together? For example, watch a movie together but be on call. It'll take the pressure off of needing to converse and maybe help ease you into just having your Little around via call.

Out of curiosity, does your anxiety change depending on if you are the one making or receiving the call? I ask because I have a similar issue. I hate making calls. What I'm going to say or how the person on the other end is going to process what I say always makes me anxious. I'm much better being the one receiving the call. 

 

There are a couple of things that I've found to be helpful. With loved ones, I really recommend simply discussing this. Let them know this is something you are working on, and that it doesn't change how you feel about them. The other thing is too simply work through the problem. Be that by talking with a professional, or simply pushing through it over time with the people you care about.
