I used to feel the exact same way about using any sort of voice coms. If anyone else was in the room with me it felt incredibly awkward. The pinnacle was when I decided to play a video game with my then girlfriend in the room and use Ventrilo. She tried to respond to everything I said, and I went as silent as possible. Fast forward sometime and using voice com software on my computer feels as natural and second nature as using a phone to me. Skype, Vent/Mumble, Web Demos, etc all feel normal. I imagine that those that stick with using it will find it pushes their comfort zone less. I would also make the prediction that as voice becomes more readily available that the rising generation will just get used to using it and won't really give it a second thought.
