8th grade. Decided to try out for the school musical. Worst fear came true: got a speaking part!! Rehearsals went well, I was feeling ready. Opening night: I'm standing center stage with my cast mate...

my worst cases were all after i graduated college. It didn't bother the listeners that much. I guess they felt it was unfortunate i was having such a hard time. I felt like total shit though. There ar...

I just cannot do any types of personal questions where there are no word substitutes. "First and Last name please?" "Where do you work?" "Where are you from?" Etc... I immediately lock up and can...

It's so awkward though! I get so flustered when someone says something for the first time even though they just don't know. I do enjoy watching them feel bad immediately afterwards though. haha....

I'm covert, but I'm honestly way too hard on myself, focusing on every little "mistake" I make in conversation. I just elongate my sounds and pause and block a lot which I guess most people chalk up t...
