Mine involve being in the classroom.

This one is the most resent:

About a couple of months ago, my teacher told the class that we had to see a movie, then talk in groups about it, and at last talk about it together in the class.

We were 3 in my group. I'm fine talking with those two, because they're the only ones I talk to in my class. So that was ok.

The time had come where we had to talk in the class. My teacher asked questions to the first group then the next and so on.

When it was my groups turn, the teacher asked a question (I absolutely don't remember what the question was). It got quiet. I was so much hoping the other two would say something, but they didn't. Tick tack tick tack.... I know they wanted me to speak. My heart began to raise. I had no option but to start saying something, so I did. It was terrible! I stumbled, it didn't make any sense at all. When I finished talking, everyone was silent even the teacher. It felt like hours pasted. Finally another in my group took over.

Phew. I hated it! Felt bad for weeks. It'll stay in my memory always, like all the other episodes will.

Tell me your worst experience with sa.

I honestly would'nt know where to begin with this question 8O

I think the worst was when I first started college at 16 and got the class take the piss out of me for "shaking" with my nerves

this went on for months, I finally left after getting into a fight with a lad who unwisely thought he'd take the bullying to a physical level. :twisted:

My accident happened in class when I was seventeen at highschool. Teacher has divided our class into 8 or 9 groups and has given different subjects to each group. Everybody ought to just prepare a speech and speak sitting at a desk in front of the class. I wrote an article and didn't memorize it, only read two or three times. I thought that I can speak by looking at the paper I prepared.

So the day came. I had to start first but suddenly I felt a strange feeling. My heart was beating like a drum, it was so difficult to breath. My arms, legs and my head was getting cold. My sight was blurry. Every part of my body was shaking. I felt like I was in a nightmare and was just about to wake up. I stuttered and just couldn't even speak the first word of my speech and rushed out of my class. After spending 5 minutes in font of the washbasin I returned the class, sat back at my desk and went on my speech. I was extremely depressed. My speech was finaly over but I was already disgraced.

And the following 6 months were the worst times in my life. Depression, depression and depression...

early high school was sitting in geography class and two of the more louder friends started hitting me in the stomach followed by hard slaps to my forehead lasting for almost the entire class, so i just froze up completely because we were situated up the front so everyone could see it happening, so at the end i must have had a severe panic attack because i started coffing and spluttering almost like i was having a minor sezere/hyperventilated at the end of the class, i had to be taken out of the class to calm down but of course i didnt walk bac in i just went home in disgust at myself for not handling the situation better ..

class presentation at university, ten minutes to talk about mobile phones and after 2 minutes i just went blank and repeated what i'd already said over and over again and my ability to be spontanious was not there at all ..

21st birthday speech: "thanks for coming, hope you enjoy the food" quickly sits back down :roll:

used to work in a kitchen with alot of young people, waiting staff, bar staff my age and i just remember coming across as really lame in conversation, i don't know if it was that bad but i can just tell from body language and peoples reaction to me that i was this rather boring character in person that had alot to do with the pressure to be fast and still try and make small talk with people, i found that really challenging amongst cliques ..

Seriously, your British style of saying things makes you and other UK members sound like buccaneers... :)
 
There haven't been any horrible events I can point out, it's just my lack of forming real connections with people and not knowing the perfect thing to say that gets me down.

When I was in 10th grade, I was sitting in driver's ed class. There was a speaker that came in, so the other driver's ed class came to our room to watch the presenter. There were probably about 70 people in the room. I wasn't really paying attention, but the speaker was apparently talking about care for trauma victims. I was thinking about something funny to myself, and I kind of smiled...I didn't think it was that noticeable or anything. All of a sudden, the speaker turned to me and said, "Can you tell me what is so funny about having a 10" pole inserted into your chest?" Everyone in the room turned and looked at me. I was so incredibly embarrassed. It was horrible!

Worst experience? That I haven't been able to live my life. No social life, no partner, no education and no work. Is that enough?
