The last time I had to give a speech, I was really in a bad state...turning very red. I think the best thing to do is consentrate on what you're talking about and pretend they aren't there, really try to disassociate. It takes a lot of time to get use to. I'm not over it myself.

I tend not to go to school the day when we have a social situation like that. I also hate group projects because Im afraid that my "partner" will make judgements and say that my ideas are stupid but when I hear their ideas its like I don't like judging them so I just say "Go for it." even though in my head I think its a stupid thought. I also felt like I let my partner down because he reminds me of a person like me. He tends to be quiet all the time and he sits next to me and I never start a conversation with anyone neither does he. But yeah I try my best to avoid that stupid History class of mine cuz the teacher is sometimes assigning activities that are social and god I hate that but I really wanna be part of it cuz I see how everyone else is having a good time with it but me !
