Things i wish my teachers knew about my anxiety

Oh god I know. When I was in high school a teacher made me do a presentation in front of my class and said he was going to film everyone's presentations so we could watch at the end of the year. I hate doing presentations in front of people and being filmed for obvious social anxiety reasons. It went horribly. My anxiety was pretty severe at that time and I was shaking and turning red and couldn't get through my words. And it was all filmed. Then the teacher thought it would be a great idea to call me out on my anxiety issues in front of the class. I actually skipped school on the day we were supposed to watch the video because it was a painful memory. Luckily it's very far in the past now. Although talking in front of groups of people is something I really did eventually have to learn for work and life.
