tis the time

The other day I was sitting in class and I had something to say and I could not raise my hand. What inhibits me so? I really don’t know. What am I so afraid of? I’m afraid my voice will waiver, that people will know I’m nervous. So what? I’m afraid people will think my comment is dumb. They won’t. I won’t stand out. I will hardly be noticed and will feel good for having thrown in my opinion.
I went to elementary school. I went to high school. I went to university. Now I’m in post grad and it’s finally time to speak up!! I’ve gotten better at speaking in small groups, but the classroom still intimidates me. My ideas intimidate me. My perception of other people’s perception of my ideas intimidates me.
Seriously… time to let it go.
