I can get behind this. Not everyone can speak in public. Fucking deal with it.
Sounds like you should have just dealt with it instead of whining your way out of it, lmao
I didn't whine my way out of it. I just failed horribly at it or took an F every time. Exposure didn't make me any better at it. We need to understand people's strengths and weaknesses. You don't need to speak in public to get good at a subject. I killed other assignments. I somehow still pulled a 3.2 GPA in high school despite it all. If schools weren't worthless as shit in my day, I would have been an even better student. Maybe I wouldn't have had to throw my college career away and suffer until I was like 23.
The people comparing being uncomfortable with public speaking to individual subjects are being ridiculous and disingenuous. Imagine knowing so little about anything. I guess education failed them too.
It's well known that the American education system is terrible, but we defend it because "I got through it". Imagine how much better everyone could turn out with a more personally tailored upbringing. Why settle for less?
If you didn't do well with public speaking due to anxiety, then exposure is absolutely the way to go. It's pretty much the only form of psychotherapy that we can really say is really effective. ---
