I agree Venus, I had a situation at work yesterday. The manager's came to me and ask me how something had gone down, There were about three people standing there besides myself. I started to talk and then it hit me I had to stop and breath I finally got the story out but felt as if I might pass out. I don't know if I feel like I am being confronted or interrogated or both.Which I wasn't at all at the time. I don't have problems talking w/ people casually just when I feel like all eyes are on me. I too was painfully shy as a child. Good friends that know me would say...."You shy we don't believe it!" I have only worked 6 days total so I really don't know these people well, that may have something to do with it. Possibly judgment, I don't know why because I come off as a person that is confident but inside I am on the edge! I don't know if this makes sense to you but it's my story and I am stickin to it! lol!
