Yossarian, you might be interested in text-based browser game called Cantr II - http://www.cantr.net/ where you play a number of different characters and the aim is basically to build a society. To do this you need to interact with the other players, trade resources etc. At first I couldn't play a single character. It felt so ridiculous and I was going to give it up because it was just going so slowly. But it's actually become quite fun now.

The first time I realized I had panick attacks when speaking in front of large groups of people was in my 7th grade science class. I was asked to read out of the book, and when I began reading I felt a loss for air. I started thinking about myself reading out loud not thinking of the words I was (attempting) to read, and then I started thinking about thinking about thinking about it and so on. After about a minute of reading I was panicking and couldn't read anymore, so I just stopped!

In 9th grade I had real bad SA and I had a particularly hard time with gym class. Often I argued with my teacher and didnt participate. This one class, we were playing volleyball, and the ball sailed over the net right towards me. I saw it coming, so i put my arms out, ready to do a forearm pass, but instead of moving to hit it, for some reason I just let it hit me in the face. I could see everyone laughing under their breath, thinking "what the fuck??" even the teacher looked amused and perplexed. That was real embarassing.
A week or so later I was called into the guidance office for the incident, to see if I was okay I guess. Of course I didn't really tell the guy anything, just sat there in angst waiting to leave, but he was a total toolbag anyway. He asked me if there might have been some dirt on the ball that got into my face or something.

I broke up with my boyfriend for a day because I was too afraid to kiss him goodnight when he was dropping me off at my house. I had a panic attack and said "goodnight I'll call you tomorrow" and jumped out of the car. He thought that I was a lunatic I'm sure, poor guy.

I would say that I have a couple embarrassing moments that stick out to me. The first one occured in 8th grade English class. My teacher asked me to read from the textbook.. the directions and then the first question. As I read, she stood on the opposite side of the room. She asked my classmates if everyone could hear me. A few kids on the opposite end, shook their head "no." She told me to read again, louder, and I was still too softspoken. she then told me to get up and stand on the top of my chair. I sort of laughed, thinking it was a joke, but then she said "I'm serious." so, I stood up on the top of the chair, having everyone watching me, and finally read it again. She said it was much better, but I could have died. I just wanted that day to end.

The second embarrassing moment lasted for four years in HS. The first two were particularly hard, but I got used to it after that. During lunch time, I had no one to sit with. They had three lunch periods, and during my freshman yr I could not sit with my friends that I ate with during MS, because they had early lunch. SO on my first day, I tried sitting at some random tabl. After a few minutes, the two girls on the end got up and walked away. So I sat alone, barely nibbling on a fry, until finally I trashed it and left. Th next days, I tried sitting at random tables, but I felt like an idiot intruding on groups of friends. I stopped going into the lunch room and di my HW outside of the caf. The next year, however, they made a ridiculous rule tht you could not leave the caf until their were 15 minutes left until the next class. I was so scared, because I knew I had no one to sit with. I ended up hiding in the bathrooms for 15 minutes before I could leave. I would alternate and walk to the bathroom on the other end. It was the most awful thing, I thought. I woul stare at my watch, counting the minutes I had left to go. I just couldn't wait to graduate and just hoped that one day things would be better.

Finally, I always hated class assemblies. We would meet in the auditorium and their would be rows of seats. I would come in and always take an end seat. It was the worst when no one else sat in the rest of the row. Everyone would be lauhing and talkin with their friends, and when you occupy a whole row by yourself, you always stick out like a sore thumb.
