You are free to assume that everyone and I mean everyone is interested in your side of the phone conversation.
While you sit there in, let's say an airport gate waiting area or while you stand in line at the grocery store, taking far too loudly you obviously are convinced that everyone within a half of a mile is really glued to what you have to say to whom ever you are saying it to. If your opinion, based on your actions, substantiates that the discussion is of such common interest, why not activate the speaker phone function and ask everyone to gather round so we can all hear both sides and perhaps occasionally chime in as we see fit. That option would be far more considerate than intentionally speaking at such a high volume that others have no choice but to listen to you and only you.
Surely there is a place where you can take your conversation so it will not distract other people and would likely give you more privacy where you are better able to concentrate. Otherwise you might consider returning the call when you can isolate yourself from the maddening crowd. There used to be a thing called a phone booth that insulated the person making the call from the outside world. These were marvelous inventions because it required one to close a door in order to hear the other party.
The smart phone is a fantastic device that has the capability to communicate in voice and written word. You might consider the latter if you can't find a secluded place to have your phone conversation. Because believe it or not, the world outside your world, is not that interested.
