-- Posted by CherryxBomb at 12:50 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Well it feels that way   In almost all of my classes my teachers expect me to speak up, and join in on the conversations. 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? -- Posted by 43911 at 12:52 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 just ignore ur incofidenece if thats the word lol and speak up ul get used 2 it n become more confident -- Posted by HANCOCK at 12:53 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 ive always been outragously outgoing in class, almost too much -- Posted by CherryxBomb at 12:53 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Quote: from HANCOCK at 3:53 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 ive always been outragously outgoing in class, almost too much u could give me some of your outgoing-ness if u have too much, i need it lol -- Posted by XsmilygirlX at 12:54 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Quote: from HANCOCK at 3:53 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 ive always been outragously outgoing in class, almost too much Yeah me too. -- Posted by Rachel7 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. -- Posted by Scarlet Tears 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.
