But I get so intimidated by everyone else that I find it really hard to answer even my name since I get so nervous! I don't know what's wrong with me, I mean when I was younger, like in middle school, I had no problem answering questions. I even made a couple of jokes. But I noticed that in High School I start loosing my courage to speak, and finally, as a college freshman, my heart speeds up when I only have to answer one thing and my professors must think i'm a snobby student, or a retard, since I won't take part in the discussions which fucking sucks =/ Any advice?

Replies Scarlet Tears Posted at 4:58 am on Jan. 13, 2009 I used to be like that in primary school but in high school i started thinking about some teachers as friends which made it easier to speak up and eventually you can think of all the teachers as friends and its way easier to talk to them. I sound like a nerd but it helps trust me. Rachel7 Posted at 2:15 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 I'm that way and i just pretend that everyone in the room are people I know and I'm comfortable with.
