    ...because of anxiety.

    I know I'm probably going to get a lot of flak for this, but... I often hear about how people do things or do not do things "because" of social anxiety or the like. This is a misconception. Anxiety doesn't make you do anything. If you miss school, or if you don't have a job, or if you can't...

    Singing in front of a class, while being graded...

    ...and in Japanese, to boot. My worst nightmares have been confirmed today. This is to be my final oral exam.

    The humor approach

    I have been thinking lately about why this started. Why am I anxious? Temperament probably has something to do with it, but a history of bad social experiences surely must have had the greatest role in bringing this to bear. At least, I think so. Then, when considering why I'm so ineffective in...
