Phriggin' Phones

Is it me? I wish someone would tell me. Why is it that I have so many awkward moments on the phone; w/ both friends and family? I've had great, deep calls w/ certain people; and then the next time I speak to them via phone, it feels forced or ingenuine (is that a word?) It happens w/ family AND friends. I can think of only a handful of people that; when I speak to them on the phone, everytime is interesting, genuine and full. I don't get it. I really wish I could determine if it's me; or something I'm doing/saying? What is it? I would change it if I knew what it was. Does anyone else have experiences like this? Is it my mood? The connection? What?
