english class anxiety!!!!!

[chained]

got really anxious on english
*we were discussing about this story
*and it's point
*and I said something smart.. and then
*I started thinking I have to say something smart again.. and then instead of thinking of the answer to the question I kept thinking I had to say something smart!
does this happen to u guys?? not just in class, anywhere..

Chained: " *insert smart remark*"
Chained's mind: " O ****, I have SA why the **** did i say that? I need to say another smart sarcastic thing..."
Chained: "...."

Was it like that? then yes, many many times. I think i'm able to do that when i'm not thinking about myself and i'm deeply into the conversation or w/e. Then i realize "why the hell did i say that?!" I'm suppose to be this queit person...you know?

I never think I have to keep saying smart things but I do get embarrassed and second-guess myself and think "What if that was a really stupid thing to say?". Especially if the teacher had a counter-argument, which happened a lot in philosophy. I actually participated a fair amount in that class but the teacher usually had a response that countered mine so I either ended up feeling stupid (even though I know that wasn't the case) or I was too shy to reply to him and keep the conversation going so I just let him have the last word.

Reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld; after George says something funny at his office meetings he leaves or shuts up that way you always leave them wanting more.

yea, but u guys think of the answeres!!! I can't cuz I'm so worried about what the teacher will think, it doenst even give me time.. i just go to this place where I'm thinking everything but about the question mostly that it has to be a smart answer... and I just stutter there, but I guess if I can write good essays, soemthimes than I'm not stupid, but not being able to get to my fullest potential is really annoying and it makes me that anxious I have to take pills for it! lol

Some people in here are intelligent as hell, i swear the only thing stopping them is SA... I for one is not one of those smart people, whether i have SA or i think i'm an idiot. I've secluded myself from the real for too long, i just feel like an idiot when the teacher calls on me. Unlike you guys who have ideas but just can't bring it out, i have no freaking clue!

Phobo where did that come from?

yea Phobo? it's one amoungs many.. I'm just going threw I period.. where I'm over anaylizing myself... and my SA started way before I could tell if I was stupid or not.. it's just a part of it... I'm afraid of not saying cool things, not being fun, not clicking with the group.. genaral SA stuff... everybody here is afraid of most of that.. I got my own psych lol( no offense) I know u were trying to help.. my biggest fear is not coming up to expectations... probably my own, twisted expectations and then others...

u took the word outta my mouth!!!!!!! have no freaking clue whe she calls out!!!!! and their all extremely smart... the SA stopping them... if I had ideas I' briing them out!!!!!!!! dunno if I'm stupid an only trying to cover it by the SA, or if it is the SA but it's rather the first.. and I think ur smart... and if a person like u can doubt his intelligence, then guess SA can really mess up a person!
