This morning my mum came in and said one of my social workers was on the phone and wanted to talk to me, and I refused to take the phone off her and I totally freaked out, because I can't talk on the phone unless it's someone I know well.
Last time I had to speak to a social worker on the phone, the call went on for ages and my mum was in the background nagging me to walk the dog, so I said so, and now the social worker thinks I was being rude.
Plus, I feel that my privacy is invaded when social workers call me at home, or make appointments at my house. It's bad enough having to talk to them at school and at the clinic, but it's just too much when they can reach me at home.
I'm starting to feel this problem is actually more with the social workers than with the phone, actually. But I hate answering the phone anyway, because I always sound like an idiot, so if the house phone rings when I am home alone I always let it go to answerphone, as it's never for me anyway.
