About a week ago my professor called on me in class to answer a question. I’m usually on top of my studies so it shouldn’t have been a problem. Well, it was a philosophy question so the question wasn’t exactly straightforward. Anyways, after seeing all 200 hundred heads turn towards me I started panicking. My facial tics starting acting up and I immediately went into fight or flight mode. I treated the question like an attack on me personally and instead of answering the question directly, I tried to logically dismantle the integrity of the question itself. I really didn’t intend to do this, my sympathetic nervous system took over. The other students started laughing, including some fellow incels in denial. I haven’t shown up to that class in a week because of this. I might end up failing the class. I have managed to eliminate most triggers for my anxiety, but public speaking(to an audience larger than about 10 people) still manages to trigger my anxiety. This is due to a traumatic experience I had as child and also my appearance of course.
 
Should've shaken your head. They are likely still talking about it and will continue to do so.
 
lol who cares, it wasnt a STEM class

200 students? that's a gen eds class
 
i hate how teachers can just call on anyone whenever they feel like it, there should be a law against it tbh. If i'm not raising my hand DON'T FUCKING CALL ON ME!
 
Yeah I know. It’s my absences that might fuck me over.

you have urself only to blame, it's a fucking useless class with no applications, just get it over with

Should've just said "I agree" or some shit

Definitely keep going to the class, they already think you are a subhuman, so just get used to it.
 
Fuck. At university we were never called on to answer questions in lectures; that only happened during group seminars of 10-15 people. I feel for you, OP.
 
big deal, people laughed at me all the time. Just brush it off man, if you run away it shows you're scared
 
Should have made like Godinez from the Mexican series Chaves: "why me? I didn't do anything!"

I hated being asked questions in front of class when i attended school a billion years ago. It seems the teachers go after whichever student they feel is most likely dreading being asked. I thought universities would of been better than that.

Teachers are sadistic fucks. Doesn't help that if you are ugly people think you don't know the answer because you weren't paying attention, when you're just low iq. Normies and attractive people lack any empathy for ugly people. It's just suffering and then you die if you are ugly.
 
Was anything funny about it? Why are people laughing for no reason? This is just so common.

I think it might have been my tics. Also, after successfully dismantling the professor’s question she said, “okaaayyyy, let’s ask somebody else.”I really didnt mean to offend her.

Same. I'm like that too, I'm fine in terms of interaction but when it comes to public speaking, I start choking and sweating.

You managed to speak up and defend yourself in way at least, would you have been able to do that a few years ago?

A few years ago I would have had an anxiety attack. And yeah, I’m a lot more defensive than I used to be. Used to let people walk all over me.

Then you can look at the bright side, this wasn't an ideal situation but it was a lot better than it would've been in the past. You can maybe find some consolation in that, I say take this event as a proof of progress.

Curious. I am the exact opposite. I can do public speaking and presentations just fine, but when it comes to personal interactions autism activates.

I'm not anxious with interactions anymore for the most parts, but there are still times when I just don't know what to say.

True. It’s just really difficult to overcome childhood trauma.

Well in interviews/public speaking there is a topic you have to stick to, so I know what to say. When it comes to small talk I can't think of anything at all.

Same here. I amazed how people can facilitate a conversation to no end.
 
I always sat in the rear of the lecture hall when I went to the uni :feelshaha:

just NTmaxx dude, also alcohol helps.. Ask questions, listen to their response and relate.
 
Incels should complete their schooling online. Much more comfy this way.

try relating to chad:
"............and then I went to the bar and 2 of the chicks started making out with me. They called a 3rd friend and we had a foursome. Then I woke up the next morning in one of their apartaments having forgotten what happened afterwards but still fucked one of them in the morning."

try relating to normie:
"My friends x and y introduced me to this chick who is now my gf"
"Oh [insert hobby you mentioned] is nice. I do it with my girlfriend all the time. Do you have a girlfirend?"
"You seem so quiet. Are you ok?"

try relating to foid:
"I'm so lonely, you know. No one gets me you know. Anyway talk later, my bf is here to pick me up......"

This is why I only hang out with other incels.

Pretty much what I do. I just come to uni for exams and projects, books tend to be a much better teacher than the proffesors.

It is really hard to relate to normies. Most of the shit they worry about I could care less about. I only have one friend I can talk to without speaking through a filter.

Should have just pulled out your cock at this point.
 
I rather say I dont know than getting the answer wrong or acting like a retard
 
I sit far in the back. I got called on for a question, answered it correctly and the professor still picked on me asking why I always look so serious, forced me to smile with teeth and all that. So annoying.
 
I don't know if this is simply a high schooler's issue but I have never been called on randomly in a college lecture, but I remember my HS teachers being pricks about that. I had one professor at uni who would randomly asked for students opinions, and once he asked me what I thought and I said I'd have to do more research. Usually college professors don't randomly call on people in my experience, you have to go out of your way to participate.

If this is a uni course and I were in your shoes, I probably would try and drop the class or never show up again to hide my shame. In the end though you not showing up to class is letting the normies win. Consider your presence a spite towards them. Truthfully, while many here like to think that they are the center of attention, they probably talked about you on that day to a friend if that and have forgotten you exist. You're not that important.

I was gonna say this is stupid since I am very used to speak in front of very large audiences.
But then I remember that they are pretty stupid things that triggers me like certain windy weather, dusk, etc.
This is gonna sound extremly normie but please dont let this ruin your entire life. Very few incels have the opportuny of going to college, so make it worth it.
 
I understand man. Elementary through high school was hell for me for this reason. At college, I can just skip most of my lectures, and they are all STEM classes anyway so there's no presentations and it's mostly just the professor lecturing.

Just pay attention in class theory

I did know the answer. It’s just that in the heat of the moment I spotted a flaw in the question and decided to critique the question rather than answer it. Like I said, my sympathetic nervous system took over.
 
I'm sorry bro. It is over, friend.


@Ticcel Are you in non-STEM major? In my major/minor grade is solely based on completion of assignments and exams

No, I’m in engineering. This class just fulfills the gen ed requirement.

Oh gened, yeah. I'm forced to take one right now and had a presentation as well. Was shaking and stuttering whole time and received lowest grade in the class and teacher commented on how I need to work on my presentation skills :feelsbadman::feelscry:
