I'm taking classes which has a group discussion as part of curriculum. I'm nervous for this because I don't like to it for many reasons. One, because I had a bad anxiety/panic attack at a previous one and I cannot seem to forget it. During that attack, everywhere I looked I saw people all around me and I didn't know what to do or what to look at. So my question is: during a group discussion, I want to pay attention to the speaker, but I get nervous when I feel uncomfortable and make eye contact. I am nervous because I don't want to appear nervous, but the more I try, the more it gets worse. any suggestions? I hope this is clear.
