Nervous about ESA telephone assessment

Hello everyone I just received a letter from ESA for a telephone assessment on Thursday 22nd October 2020 I am so worried because I don't know what to expect and also I suffer from very bad Anxiety when talking to people that I don't know and even worst i cannot see the person I am speaking to and also I don't trust any of those people because they normally lied. The lost time I did my ESA assessment With a physiotherapist he lied about everything and I didn't received any points i had to go to court and won so this is very worrying to me. So if anyone have done this telephone assessment before can you please let me know what to expect many thanks.

Thanks for getting back to me I really appreciate it thanks for the heads up
Just be yourself and tell it as it is, is there anyone that could be resent with you who may be able to prompt you ?
Try having the TV on with no volume and you can look at th screen and may feel like you are talking to someone (may be a daft idea ) just a thought
Thanks for your brilliant idea will definitely let you know how it goes Thanks for your support i really appreciate it thanks again
