Waiting for your name during roll call, and mentally preparing yourself just to say "Here"

and then you fumble over the word when you say it and get tongue tied.

One time I accidentally screamed at the teacher while he was doing roll-call like I do with my mom

Now every now and then during roll-call someone tries to mimic my scream

God I feel so stupid

I had something like that. I was sitting in class today just trying to make sense of this discrete math bs, when my friend next to me was like "Hey anon" and I said really loud "Whats up?" and turned to him. The look of shock on his face told me all I needed to know about what I'd done, in the middle of a college lecture.

its not easy at first...but besides nobody giving a **** as mutant said, just throw yourself out there. for example...imagine yourself getting on a roller coaster for the very first time...it looks scary, you think you may not even like it....but you make the decision to just say " **** it." and get on.

By not giving a **** and using your brain less. The reason people are shy or anxious is because they're constantly asking themselves "What if they don't like me" or "What if people think I'm weird". Stop doing that **** . Tell your brain to shut the **** up and do it anyway. Because, in reality, people don't care what you're doing unless it causes property damage or breaks the law.

The same way anything else in life is done; breaking your comfort zones. I myself am still pretty shy, but it isn't a hindrance anymore to me. But yeah, you need to go out of your way.

College quickly makes you realize how little of ***** people give after the age of 20. Like, high school was different because everyone judged everyone which I never had a problem with, but the atmosphere was entirely different. You'll figure it out when you give your first speech in a college course. You'll be freaked out for like a week in advance when that dead line is approaching, but when you are finally up there and look around you will see literally no one is paying attention other than one sperg up front. Everyone will be staring at their laptop, phones, napping, going full tard and staring at the ground, studying for their next class, etc. Hell, even kids that had stutters or other speech impediments and were blatantly awkward or shy were treated no differently. No one gives a **** at all. After you see that for your first time you can quickly get over your huge "shy barrier" because you realize no one is judging you at all.

By realizing that other people's opinions don't matter.

Developing a god complex helped too, but that's another story for another day.

Customers, new coworkers, and friends of friends I have no problem with at all. Complete strangers it is hard for me to break into the conversation, or introduce myself, but it only takes a few minutes to be sociable. Usually

I'm the opposite. If I do something retarded in front of coworkers I'll have to see them every day, strangers I might never see again.

I went through JROTC in high school and was in for all 4 years, so being put in charge of others and having to do speeches in front of classes made it so it's no longer a big deal to me.

I still take a long time to be social with people (usually become friends as the semester is ending), but I don't have any anxiety against it anymore...

I have been making myself be more social if i find myself in social situations, i just get all in my head and get flustered. However i have found it is easier for me to talk to people when i talk about sports. Maybe i should go to a sports bar...

Yeah, being social/self confident is just a fake it till you make it kind of thing.

I don't have many friends because I've just been too busy to feel like I need them lately. I'll probably change next semester when I'm not taking so many classes and will be more used to my calc based physics instructor (he's a nice person but bad teacher and the only calc based physics professor so I'm stuck with him)

Here's some things that have happened to me if any of you care or can relate to (i'm probably just retarded though...

Spooky story about the movies:
At the cinemas.
Me and my friends are about to get tickets.
Friend#1 says I should go first.
I say friend#1 should go first.
Neither of us go and we decide who will go first.
Friend#2 just goes up and orders tickets.
Me and Friend#1 then walk up and say "Same as her".

Phew survived the scary ticket man and live to see another day.

Spooky incident at Maccas:
Craving dem buns.
Go get a large meal.
Wait in the corner not moving at all (didn't want be too animated and attract attention).
They call out my number.
**** I forgot how to walk properly!
Have to mentally focus on moving my arms and legs properly to get there without flopping around like wet noodle.
Get my order and make my way to a seat so I no longer have to walk.
Open bag and see I was given a small instead of a large.
I'm to scared to ask for the right order, What if they think I ate some chips and then tried to hand it in?
Lost like $3. Oh well at least I didn't have to die by the might of Macca's cashier man

Death by School Speech:
Teacher say we have 10 minutes to come up with the longest speech without saying 'um, like, so, you know' and long pauses.
I come up with a massive one that was surely to win.
Teacher calls my name out, **** my self and say "um" on purpose so I don't need to talk in front of 28 people.
Die a little inside.

Foiled once again.

Canteen Killer
I have a canteen at my school. It's a walk in so you walk around and grab stuff then go up to the exit door and buy what you've got then leave.
I go in wanting some chicken nuggets.
They're out... again.
I can't just walk out, It'll look like I'm stealing.
Buy some random **** near the exit and leave.
Sadly eat whatever it is I grabbed as I just wasted a dollar or two.

This has happened far to many times...

The one about handing tests in first.

I sometimes would, but when I waited the only reason I did is because I've had teachers who would be like "THERE'S NO WAY YOU FINISHED THAT FAST, GO BACK TO YOUR SEAT AND LOOK IT OVER." So I would just let someone else go first to see if it's an okay time to turn it in.
