Yeah, I think this is part of it--I definitely feel like a little kid when this happens. Thanks for the insight.

Yeah, a lot of times when I tear up I'm also frozen. Clearly fear, though I don't want to admit it! It helps to hear I'm not alone, P7.

Jmo, but it's not out of proportion. It does feel embarrassing when it happens to us. We cope with it the best we can, but don't beat yourself up about it, please.
Besides, there is nothing wrong in your voice quivering or if you did tear up.

Thanks so much for this, Cap. It really helped me feel more tolerant of myself. I like looking at this as part of the startle reaction. The hard part is accepting it, I guess.
This happened to me yesterday in a physical training class with people who I do trust. I think today when I see my instructor I might say something to him. This is just how I am, and I can be okay with it if everyone else can be, I guess.
