Be Well,
Jedi> -I'm afraid of meeting new people
> -I'm afraid of speaking in front of people
> -I'm afraid of being put on the spot or questioned
> -I'm afraid that when I start speaking I'm going to lose my train of thought, panic and then look like a crazy person.
> -my thoughts are always jumbled and putting together coherent sentences through speech can be very difficult and extremely anxiety provoking
> -I know I am intelligent but I can't seem to express myself properly through speech.
> -I can't look someone in the eye while I'm speaking or I lose my focus
> -I am hyper concerned of criticism
> -I basically don't want to go anywhere or do anything
