It depends on what kind of mood I'm in if I decide I feel like talking to people. If I'm in a reasonably good mood then I generally don't have any problems communicating with people IRL, but sometimes I'll be in the kind of mood where I just can't be arsed dealing with people. Then I simply don't make conversation unless I have to.
On the phone is a weird one for me too though, I can't stand it. I literally just had to call back one of my friends just now, and it took me a good 5 minutes to psyche myself up for it. Don't know why, if I saw the person face to face it would be normal, even if we were talking online with facebook chat or something. But the phone? Damn man, I just don't know what it is, it just feels like everything in my brain I would normally say in conversation immediately disappears.
