^^^^^^^^^I get anxious when it *doesn't* ring (meaning: nobody is interested enough in calling me).
Also, may I suggest you get a different sounding ringer? A softer one, perhaps, or maybe even a unit with a small blinking light for incoming calls. In fact, I knew someone that had a "talking phone," one which would announce in a very soft, mellow voice: "Incoming call, incoming call...", but that didn't last very long since the unit was flung out the window of a high-rise in NYC.
It's that confounded jangling of the bells, those bells, THOSE BELLS, that drive people loopy.
