Strangers are nothing because I'm in their lives and gone. It's the people that are close to me. That i try to protect myself. Love to talk more.

Thank you for responding
i can understand how you feel. Although i am terrible a public speaking too so that aspect is an advantage for you as you can base your career on it if you so wish. I think you probably conveyed your knowledge and potential which made your teacher so persistent. I could be wrong though i don't know you or your circumstances.
That is understandable it's the people that know you that end up taking things ti heart more often than strangers. I get why you'd play it safe
