17 (m) with social anxiety here. My chem teacher who I see only for Monday’s and Thursday’s, always uses breakout rooms with random people for almost everything we do. (our school uses zoom everyday) Our classes are a max 90 minutes long and she’s the only teacher I have who always uses the whole 90 minutes. (Besides math but we do more independent work) As someone who is introverted, absolutely hates their voice, has social anxiety, and especially doesn’t want to talk in ten in the morning to people about what “what did you do this weekend?” and “what did you get for the warm up question?” Like, I just watched football and slept in do I really need to tell people that? I never speak, I’ll just embarrass myself and sometimes if I’m fortunate enough my group doesn’t speak or is very chill. So each day we have a three page lesson worksheet that we do, like we will do some of it then she will put us in those random rooms just to discuss some easy ass question that even my dumbass self could figure out, and they are always way longer than they should be too. The worst part about these is that when we’re done with the breakout rooms and come back to class, someone in our group has to share what we said to the class. Again some people are chill and some people will straight up say everything and mention stuff like “oh he didn’t speak”. The worksheet without all the group shit only takes me like 20-30 min and that’s why I left the call so I could complete the worksheet independently. Yeah, I know I’m a bit of a wuss, but does anyone else’s relate to this? and get bad anxiety over breakout rooms? or has a similar experience?
