What is the chance of a normal person understand what is SA?

I've been wanting to tell to school staff about my problem. How they not understand me, make fun of me and put pressure. Not out of malice, but because people like mess and provoke each other (this is stupid). I would never think to tell if anxiety was not insupportable. Sometimes I have the impression que I will lose control and run out the room so much pressure. If they could they had known perhaps at least do not require me to interact much, leave me more at peace, which would decrease my anxiety somewhat.

The problem is if they do not understand, if they say I'm exaggerating, everyone gets nervous, I'm just shy. If they imagine that they are right to demote me because it only has three times my age and think you do not know what I'm talking about.

You told to any superior (job or school) what is your problem? If you think they understand if you detailed explain? It was worth it and this worked for you?What is the chance of a normal person understand what is SA?

My experience has been slim and none when it comes to the chances of a normal person understanding. First of all, they never believe I have it. And the ones who do believe me think it's just shyness and offer up useless tips on how to get over it.

In my experience with SA, its best to only reveal your issue to certain people. Teachers are a good start, but maybe talk to a school councilor about it. You can request that they make your teachers aware of it, so you don't need to approach them yourself.
Of course, if you have confidence in those teachers and are comfortable telling them yourself, go for it.

Using the councilor also makes things kind of...privately 'official'. So if any teacher does treat you badly over it, you have support to make a complaint.
Good luck.
