I know someone who is like that. Hates small talk with strangers and doing phone calls
But most of the time, these things go surprisingly well and she is happy about her interaction throughout the rest of the day.
Incl small talk with neighbours or when someone comes by to pick up something she put up on FB market place
Most people are nice and friendly
Not going into detail because it's too stressful to do this often and without complaint or hate let me just say:
It must be very nice to be neurotypical.
For me/us it's always a dangerous gamble that can easily paralyze you for a day, week or more.
Well of course I know her. She's me!
I actually enjoy small talk and love making people laugh when I talk to them. Phone calls though, I'm not sure why, they stress me out so much. I hate making calls and just like OOP and I panic when my phone rings.
