Before I got social anxiety I was kind of the stereotypical teacher's pet. I always participated in class discussions.
My social anxiety has impeded my ability to be able to speak out in class, even when I feel the urge to share my opinion or whatnot. Sometimes I'm able to speak my mind but other times I just shy away.
I get really nervous when I am the center of attention and worry that I will say something incorrect or something that will make people feel less of me. I know they are stupid irrational fears for the most part.
Anyone have any tips on how to participate more? Can anyone relate?
