Do you ever in a moment of nervousness or just for no reason at all stumble over your words and the person you're talking to is like, "huh"? Happened to me today with a customer. It's the most embarrassing thing ever! Any suggestions on how to always speak clearly and confidently?

Hi all, I am what I'd call a "non-traditional" student...I went to community college and just graduated with an associate's degree.. I applied to late to the state university and they ran out of space for spring.. now I've been looking at a small college for next fall 2012, however I would be...

Just thought I would take the time to wish everyone on here a very Happy New Year. Here in MD it's almost 6 p.m. but I'm sure some of you in Europe and other places are already celebrating/or finished celebrating. Everyone on here is special to me and I really feel like I've found a good...

Today my grandma took me to get a Christmas present for my boyfriend, which was really sweet. However things turned ugly when she started talking about my sister and my ex-stepfather. I felt literally attacked. My ex stepfather was an emotionally abusive man who still talks to my grandparents...

Hey all, Writing (specifically, poetry) has always been a therapy for me. I've neglected it for quite some time, but I want to get back into it. I really think I ought to get myself out there and just submit some of my work, even if it's rejected. I think it's something that makes me feel...

So I know most everyone on here hates Facebook, but I go on here and there usually just to listen to the music I have on my page or something. I don't have many friends on there, but some. I went on there and I saw all these people I used to know in high school before I started having a lot of...

EXECUTED - Jose Medellin - Texas Death Row - Scheduled Execution : Pro Death Penalty Information - Scheduled Executions After reading about the crimes, I was happy that Jose Medellin and the other gang members got the death penalty for what they did to these girls. It seemed ridiculous to me...

Does anyone else dislike her? I find her to be heartless and overly - religious (she said she is submissive to her husband and that wives should be according to her religion- she said this on national television; she also said that submission is "respect")? Gag! There's something about her that...

Hey, So most people at my job I'm pretty cool with, no hard feelings. Some people seem to like me or we talk here and there. However I've gotten the feeling this one girl who works in a different section doesn't like me for no apparent reason, but I didn't really care and besides, she doesn't...

So I look at my job schedule, and of course, during my final exam week next week, they increase my hours by 7 and give me 27 hours. But the week after that, they gave me 13.5 hours! This is the first time since I've worked at my job that I've had less than 20 hours. I cannot believe this. I am...

Okay, this is long but please read, I really need help right now.. My mother has had her boyfriend living in our house for some time now..maybe over a year (not sure exactly). When he moved in, my mother did not consult me, but rather told me a couple days before he moved in that he was...

Hey everyone, I just wanted your opinion on this issue--in my health class, the teacher is pretty nice and the class has been pretty interesting. Last class, someone sent around a note asking, well not asking, but rather telling to write down the amount of money you want to donate for a...

Is constant embarrassment related to social phobia? I'm wondering sometimes whether my embarrassment is rational, or whether this is abnormal. Right now I am still dying of embarrassment over what happened today in what I described in another thread. I feel like such a freak. This is the only...

I've noticed there are a lot of people from Australia and other parts of the world on this forum. I was just curious where everyone is located. I'm in the eastern United States outside of Washington DC in Maryland.

I work at a store, and I've noticed that the worst of the worst customers I've had have been female. I am female myself, so I'm not trying to be sexist..but I just can't help notice this. Today a woman made me cry (well I waited til I went to the bathroom...) okay so maybe I wouldn't have...

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I feel embarrassed about how awkward i act sometimes. like today at work, in the morning when i'm tired i'm even more awkward. I was just being weird i felt. then later i stayed on the phone w my boyfriend in the breakroom just because i had...

I have this friend...she lives down county but when we get together she expects me to drive down to see her (which i wouldn't mind would it not be for the traffic in our area, especially since she always asks me to come at rush hour, yes DC rush hour...). I understand she doesn't have a...

I have a big dilemma. I'm in school but I also work retail @ Target. It can be very anxiety provoking for me, especially since I work as a cashier and have to talk to so many people, many of whom are very rude... I wonder sometimes if other people who I work with have anxiety sometimes...

Do you ever get a little irritated at how exclusive people can be towards people who are shy? I can be outgoing and friendly in circles where I feel welcome/I know someone, but usually I can be reserved and passive. Usually I do better when talking one on one with someone who has a personality...
