"What's Wrong With You?"
I got asked this question the other day: "What's wrong with you?"
The question itself isn't that bad I suppose, but I think it's the way it is said really. At college, this boy asked me this in quite a stern voice and this made me even more nerves than I would usually be because I didn't have a clue how he would react when I spoke to him. I had hundreds of thoughts in my head at this point. Will he understand me? Will he listen? Will he laugh? Will he talk over me? Will he get annoyed? Will he walk away? This was really scary for me because even though I have seen him around the college, I have never spoken to him before.
I seemed calm on the outside when I talked to him, but I didn't feel calm at all because I was constantly worried about my speech. When he left, the anxiety just flooded out... Thanks to the support from the teacher I was with at the time, I calmed down quite quickly. She said I did well, I'll have to believe her because I honestly don't know how I sounded.
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it.
