How did you get over your fear of talking on the phone?

I don't have social awkwardness - I might be an introvert but I can work a party, speak to a room of 500 etc. I am not at all afraid of talking or performing or demanding or asking for things in most circumstances. But if I have a phone-related chore I will avoid it until bad things happen. How do I stop doing this?

I have no specific phone-related trauma that triggered this. I had no problems with the phone as a kid/teen when email wasn't really a thing, but as phone use has dropped away and other alternatives have arrived I have become more and more resistant to the point where it is now interfering with my ability to do basic adult things. I am often not aware that I am avoiding the task, it is frequently subconciously done (e.g. I will go to use the phone, suddenly notice the carpet is dirty and hoover the house, forgetting my original chore).
