Yes, you can if you don't look at the eyes of the people in the class rather their noses or some other non anxiety ridden characteristic, if this makes sense?


I can't function either L, the people are there and it doesn't matter what I stare at, I know they are there and that is the problem.



I simply wanted to offer some helpfulness however, I have the same difficulty myself.


I think your avatar is quite cool.

Well dcj123, it's an image of the Displacer Beast from Dungeons & Dragons lore.

I'll be very straightforward I always had a fascination for d&d but, never actually took part in it whatsoever , rather I always enjoyed the artistic rendering of the various monsters, landscapes, etc.

Well...

This won't help but the first time I did in college, I had a panic attack and left campus :oops:

However, here is the good news, it was a psychology class and my professor was extremely understanding and accommodating. Is there someone there that can help? Most of my public speeches went okay after that but I would probably have an ambulance come get me if I tried it now.

That is an extreme example though and won't happen to you if you just pretend your alone, focus on the facts, ignore laughing which happened a lot with me and your good. Also focus on grade not people, I made an As and Bs in my public speeches so I really could care less what the class thinks because they probably made a D.

It triggered my arachnophobia oddly enough cause of its tentacles and yes I see clearly its a dog but that is the feel it gave me for some reason.

Wasn't Dungeons and Dragons a pinball game originally?

I used to have it on a card, maybe around 1982, I had a whole bunch of D&D monster cards.

Even when I wake up around 9am or 12pm, I always find time for coffee.

I remember playing a coin operated pinball machine.

2ndm dcj123, I'll see about changing my avatar to something less stressful unto you.

It's been such a long time since I inserted a coin in one of those pinball games. I can't even remember. . .

I loved playing the Oregon Trail computer game when I was a kid. It was so much fun! :)

I remember playing that game, especially part # which had those character cut scenes.

Very recently, I've seen electronic pinball machines.

When CockneyRebel was born--about 1974--there were no video games in arcades yet; they only had a few primitive ones (e.g. the Odyssey Game, Pong), which could be played at home.

I seem to remember seeing Dungeons and Dragons on a sophisticated, electronic pinball machine.
