Shyness

[indian8132]

Hello

When im at school in a lesson, and a teacher says "Sean, read out (page number) please" I GET SO SHY AND I HATE READING OUT!

It could be because of lack of confidence, but I hate it because I fear if I make a mistake everyone will laugh or something. Anyone else shy? Not mildly shy, VERY shy. I sometimes get red and sweat but not much anymore, just shy!

[Nemo]

Nope. Just say "oh i have a soar throat" or just speak to ur teacher after and say that ur shy etc.

[Adam!]

I wont read stuff out or like show my work to people.

I hate hate hate it, like in English when you have to do that thing where someone sits at front and answers questions about things, I can't do it..

Cant explain why, I just hate it! :(

[indian8132]

I agree, Adam. But, especially my English teacher, if you get picked to read things theres no question about it, you gotta read.

I get very shy too. Sometimes I even put my hand up to read and then when I get picked I get all nervous of like, getting a word wrong! Especially when it's Shakespeare, loads of words that I've never seen before and I can't read it when every other word'st end'st like'st this'st.

lol'st. is there a reason though why this happens, shyness

People don't laugh when you make accidental errors. If they do, you're in a class full of ******s. You only need to be shy if you can't read... if you're at least an okay reader, then don't be shy and go for it - you'll be surprised.

I'm a bit shy, I used to be reallyy shy though. I don't mind reading stuff out or answering questions.

Im at a grammar school so yes we can read, and only a few idiots in class (isint there in every school?) but I know no one will laugh but its just a bit scary..

Yes there is in every school. As you say, they won't laugh so there is no need to be shy! Speak loudly, clearly and confidently and ignore that nasty nervous feeling and after your first time you won't be worried about doing it again.

i hate reading because when i get really nervous, i start shaking and possibly stuttering. i went to the doctors and i was prescribed something to slow my heart rate or something like that. i think its something todo with adrenaline aswell.

You worry about nothing.

I've never had this trouble and I'm fine when I read. Just keep reading in class and you'll be fine with practice.

As the saying goes there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

[shiver]

most people make slight errors when they're reading out loud, so don't worry. you'll never improve if you never try, so don't worry about it!

[Matt.]

Hi,

I'm the same as you. I hate reading. Every time a teacher asked me to read I would just say something like "I can't" or something like that. The teacher would then just pick someone else. When I had to a presention (sp), I was fine with that cause I had time to practise it :).

[dirrty]

its called propranolol. it works for me, but i still get a tad nervous.

[luke-p]

Everybody makes mistakes, even when you read out its no biggy, and so what if people laugh... There not gonna carry it on thoughout the year...

[Sunny.]

I dont mind about reading out etc. I just get abit shy around girls... but thats natural right? Loll

[shokz]

i love reading out loud its funny as hell

gotta make em laugh

just put on a voice or just do what i do read normally or make em laugh or both

[indian8132]

[Nightrose]

*yawns*
Shouldnt this be in the teen life section.

anyway i had to read out today, in a room of people i didnt know since i was at college taster day, basically it was to talk about the person next to you.

i hate it when people read soooooooo slowwwwwwwww

its reallyyyyyy annoying

anyway just read it really quick and image everyone in their underwear

[indian8132]

People have told me the imagine the people in underwear trick before :P

Also, yes I can read very fast in my mind but when it comes to reading out loud its slower (not too slow lol)

Thats a new one! I dont have English until next Monday, so I will try it then, although our english teacher is fat and very unattractive looking at the book and her it will be hard to imagine a fit girl..:P

[:Hazel]

i used to be a bit like this, i'd dread having to read things out and whatever. im not half as bad now to be honest i think as you grow older your confidence will grow..

[Rix]

Yeah i got shy a lot like when i have to read out or even to like a talk in front of my class argh!

[Shawnstra]

I always speak out, just pretend you are talking to your mates. It could be quite fun!

[Lycan]

i can read out... and speak out... i manage to suck at talking to new people... why i'm terrible as a cashier.... and why i option refuse to talk to any new reception in the ILC ....

[ebay]

same as me, i hate reading out infront of the class but once i have done it, i feel alot better and my confidence improves

[Harmonies]

Yeah, I hate reading out loud, especially doing presentations in front of the class.

[Raptor]

Ye i used to but i didn't really care when i was in year 11, i started to think well i can't be like this when im working so i just put the thoughts of everyone looking at me and done what ever i had to.
