i feel so humiliated.
I 15F, have struggled with social anxiety as far as I can remember, but something that happened today really broke me down. I know it seems so insignificant but I feel like it’s completely taking over my mind. I keep getting picked on in one specific class, and it is the absolute worst feeling. Yesterday, I was picked on, and yet again today, I was the only one picked on to answer a question out of the blue. When asked these class-related questions, I completely froze. My mind goes blank and I see all of the other student’s heads turning directly at me. I can’t help but feel so incredibly stupid for not knowing the answer. Despite the teacher moving on, I couldn’t help but weep for periods of the lesson. I know I’m extremely young, but I’ve never felt so awful inside. I feel like everyone else is at a significantly higher level than I am in terms of intelligence, always having something valuable to contribute to class discussions. Then here I am, not even able to speak up when called upon.
