I would ...Regarding the post you killed todayish... I would say, don't feel guilty about "not blogging enough." There is no "enough." If you have time and you feel like it, you post. If you don't have time/don't feel like it, you don't. A lot of people feel pressure to post. It's not like a scheduled performance. Think of it as performance art, with no schedule, no admission. If it happens, and people see it, that's great. If it doesn't, that's fine too. <br /><br />I'm glad it happens. At least long enough for Goodle to catch it.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651926840296438477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-5827706792717802072010-03-05T08:45:31.118-05:002010-03-05T08:45:31.118-05:00I'm the same way. When I tell people I'm ...I'm the same way. When I tell people I'm shy, particularly in a new group of people, I hang back and like to observe more.<br /><br />Most friends laugh when I also say the same thing and only my sister has seen first hand when I retreat a bit.<br /><br />What do I do? Sometimes, I pretend I play act to get me over the initial hump and other times I remind myself it's only for 2 hours.<br /><br />Most times when I'm in a new situation, someone approaches me and breaks the ice. Maybe most of the parents will put you at ease.Little Ms Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208746635976950728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-61643156608419843452010-03-04T11:27:45.921-05:002010-03-04T11:27:45.921-05:00I do that too.

I always think about what is the worst thing this parent can say to me and I come up with a response. <br /><br />I completely believe in situational shyness. I think it's a really comment part of being human and in our comfort zones verse out of our comfort zones.<br />good luck todayErinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936046127305211439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-44801556549304617182010-03-04T08:56:31.638-05:002010-03-04T08:56:31.638-05:00Saw this just now, as I was trolling through the b...Saw this just now, as I was trolling through the blogosphere:<br /><br />"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." --Dr. Seuss<br /><br />Seemed to fit.Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623810021177960310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-48443949913365898682010-03-04T02:03:28.876-05:002010-03-04T02:03:28.876-05:00i can tell you that even as a parent of a child wh...i can tell you that even as a parent of a child who the teacher loves and only says glowing things about (to the point where it got quite embarrassing), the parents feel as much like throwing up as you do. the whole set-up and concept is nauseating if you think about it...julochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884096685015570257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-65700965428933338462010-03-04T00:59:10.610-05:002010-03-04T00:59:10.610-05:00I'm not even a teacher, but the idea of PT con...I'm not even a teacher, but the idea of PT conferences scare me. Parents can be very critical of teachers, even good ones. Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine. You seem like the kind of teacher I'd want to have. :)XiXihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364953168828471897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-58518408681678901032010-03-03T23:16:31.441-05:002010-03-03T23:16:31.441-05:00I was always shy talking to anyone, and if I had t...I was always shy talking to anyone, and if I had to get up in front of people, it was even worse. My first full-time job out of college, they sent me to a 'Presentation Excellence' class, which said that the people to whom I'm talking are there to see me, not the other way around. I have the upper hand when I'm in my element, and only the weak and foolish will mock my efforts.<br /><br />As for malaprops, I routinely refer to the dishwasher as 'the microwave' and call Home Depot 'Best Buy'.
