social anxiety

I think that suggesting the OP needs meds or psych help is overreacting. She only mentions a "little anxiety"and some shyness. I experienced both and didn't consider it a problem. I have always been a little shy in new situations and having an instructor watch you perform a new skill would naturally make anyone nervous. Haven't we all been nervous at sometime in a new situation?

Hang in there girl and you will find out that you can do it. Believe in yourself and best of luck.

As for me, (only speaking for my post) I am not suggesting he/she gets any psychotropic drugs or counseling.
