I forgot to tell you, Lucas. Yesterday when I got my class ring, you had to stand up and get it, and stuff like when you graduate you shake the hand, I had to do that, and my social anxiety sky rocketed. It's so scary.

Oh wow I've never heard of that. I would hate that too. When I got my diploma I forgot you had to take a picture and my principal had to pull me back because I was walking away. Then when I shook the school people's hands they all said congratulations and I said it back.

Yeah, I've never been able to publicly speak. That's one of my darkest fears.

I can't do public speaking at all. I had to take a class for college. I took my public speaking class on line. We just had to video ourselves doing speeches. It was great.

I might look into that.
Last year, for Spanish, we had to do this project, and I kept telling myself I didn't have to do it.
MY TEACHER HAD NO SYMPATHY. she was like, "You gotta grow up at some point." and because I told myself I didn't have to do it, when I actually HAD to, I started having a panic attack. I almost started crying that's how bad it got, but I told myself to suck it up. it was awful.

Teachers like that are the worst. Even now with my professors they let me speak in class on my own terms. They know I'm great for conversation after class or on the side but talking in class is super difficult. I'm getting better though because I feel safe in my classes.

That's good. I can never find out how to help myself with this problem, I always look down, I can't look at anyone. It's so hard. I tell them most of the time, I'd take an F for it, even if I spent HOURS working on it, I'd tell them I'm not getting up and that they can give me an F and I'll find another way to make it up.
I just say, "I did it but I can't go up, please don't make me. I'll take an F and do something else to make it up."

I find that just simply doing it over and over again helped. The first time I talked this college semester I mumbled and the professor couldn't understand me. The next time I choked and nothing came out. The third time and from there on has gotten better. Also I've figured out that my ideas aren't half bad.

*hugs* Thank you. I'm still the most awkward person alive but someday...

I have a friend who is 24 and sometimes she acts like my mom... it's weird.

Hehehe, that's okay. I am too. No need to worry. *hugs again* I just love hugs, even though, I barely give out my hugs. I hate people touching me, most of the time.
That was so random. :p lol

I don't hug very often either. Yeah I don't like people touching me either which makes learning self defense in karate hard.

Great minds think alike.
Luckily I usually get the same partner and we go through it very slowly but I'm getting the hang of it.

That is true.
That's good. When I get up in front of class, I can always do a little better if someone's with me.
I try to keep my attention on something, but I end up looking down.

I don't really do eye contact either. Just try to do your best. That's really all you can do.

I do eye contact when I'm comfortable with someone, but if I'm nervous. NOPE. doesn't happen.
Thank you though c:

Dale, Dylan, and I were the original trio screw Harry, Ron and Hermoine. I threatened to break your arm... probably. I was a really mean person. It's funny now cause at karate I'm so scared of hurting people and they laugh at me. But after a black belt sent me falling to the ground with repeated kicks to the ribs and I almost quit I resolved to never make someone feel that way.

Of course you are the youngest Jordan.... because I have unwillingly been forced to grow up. I brought Dylan along for the ride. Dale did it on his own accord... he was always the old one.

Haha well, I don't know who Harry, Ron or Hermoine is. Probably because I wasn't on that site.
Awh, that's sweet.

I feel like I'm a lot older than I am.
Lucas; I'll be on later like I was last night. Round' 7isjh

Omg I went to my neighbors, which isn't too far away, and tripped in a hole. D: it hurt really bad because I twisted my ankle, and then fell on my shoulder. ONLY ME.
OH AND I HAD STARBUCKS FOR THE FIRST TIME. I got something vanilla mocha.
My freaking mom came in my room to ask me when the exact date my grandfather died and I said "the 6th or 5th" moms like, "oh because he's all emotional right now. But it's not like you care." she look in my room and was like omg your dad's gonna kill you. THEN went and told my dad. Like is she stupid? she just said my dad was being emotional and then she's gonna tick him off too?
