This Girl Was Ridiculed For Asking A Lot Of “Dumb” Questions In Class, Turns Out She Was Just Helping Her Socially Anxious Friend

Every interaction can appear like a daunting task when you believe that everyone around you is judging you and don’t want you to be around. Some of us have experienced it first hand, some – know it because they’re friends with socially anxious people. This person on Tumblr shared a heartwarming and wholesome story about one socially anxious girl who had trouble speaking up in the classroom. Luckily, she had a wonderful friend that always had her back.

Kudos to the girl asking the questions, thumbs down to the rest of the class judging them, especially the teacher.
Her anxious friend had a reason to be anxious.

This girl is so awesome. I think it is terrible that a teacher of all people would be upset that a student is asking questions. Whether or not the questions were for her the teacher should have just answered the questions. This is why people have so much social anxiety: because they are afraid of being judged.
Maybe if so many questions were being asked, the TEACHER should have asked THEMSELVES where they were going wrong that a student *needed* to ask so many questions, instead of ridiculing a student and assuming that they were stupid. A teacher's job is to *teach*, and help their students understand what is being taught, right? I feel like some teachers forget that fact.
