I had a science teacher who’d pick up on everyone. But she could tell I was anxious all the time and was failing her class so we should specifically call me out randomly… one day she embarrassed me and i stood up for myself. clearly, chest out, not yelling or anything just had to get my point across. It wasn’t a scene from a movie. People laughed, people thought it was goofy, some people were silent the point is that I said what was on my mind and she didn’t embarrass me after that I was in alot of combative/hostile experiences which put me in constant states of anxiety and paranoia which probably nerfed my progress but I’m getting back on it and currently in the war of eliminating my block. Remember, you don’t have to be a victim but you’ll only change if you change
