Yesterday in my Literature class we had to do a group activity. I had actually considered skipping class, since the professor had mentioned the prospect of group work ahead of time. So anyway, I decided to be strong and go to class, and I'm so glad I did. We had share our interpretation of a poem, but nobody in my group seemed to want to speak up. So after a few minutes of no one saying anything, I finally decided to say something. I felt a huge rush of confidence after that. This is quite a big deal to me, because it was the first time I had ever spoken up in that class :)

It's always great when things go perfectly when you least expect it :)

Good to hear things are going well :)

Good job, MissPerfection. Now that you got that out of your system, you know it isn't that bad. Ugh - anticipatory anxiety

Good job! Isn't that funny how you can sit there and feel really scared, to find out maybe you aren't even the most timid person in the social situation? I've had that happen before, and it does make you feel good that you took the chance.
