Oh my god, this bitch. THIS BITCH. Buckle your seatbelts ladies, gentlemen, and otherwise: it's story time.
Like many people, I get nervous when asked to get up in front of people and talk. It makes me uncomfortable. Unlike many people, I have various diagnosed disorders (such as high-functioning autism) that make giving speeches/presentations absolutely horrifying. it was at a point where I had to run to the bathroom and vomit because I was anxious, and that was on the day the speech was assigned. I begged my teacher for a smaller audience, a shorter speech, an alternate assignment, anything, and she said no. She said that I would have to give speeches and presentations in my adult life, and that adulthood wasn't going to coddle me. What she did do was she tutored me after school and during study hall. At least three times a week (and sometimes three times a day) she helped me learn how to give a speech. Some of the methods we used were silly (like printing out my classmates' school pictures and taping them to cardboard cutouts) but it helped. By the time Speech Day rolled around, I was still nervous, but I could function like a normal human being. I wasn't confident, but I faked it so well my classmates joked that I had hired someone to give my speech for me. I was uncomfortable, but I sought help and worked through my anxiety instead of saying "I don't like that I'm held to the same standards as everyone else, therefore I'm oppressed". I didn't claim "introvert oppression" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean) or skip class and demand to make up the assignment on my terms, I learned ways to deal with my fear instead of expecting the world to conform to my wants. The person who posted this has her head so far up her faux-social-justice ass that I bet she can taste her fucking gallbladder. There is no "extrovert discrimination", there's just some obnoxious white girl on tumblr screaming "I'm oppressed! I'm in pain! I think this is what pain feels like! Oh Momma, someone maternal!"
(Rant over, I just want to give an internet WHOOP WHOOP for the freaking awesome Ms. K, for helping me learn to give speeches.)
