talking. I fumble and search for words more often than actually saying something valuable and it can be so frustrating. Like how do you get over presque vu lvl 9999??

Ditttttooooooo here. Personally, I also have a speech impediment (including the classics, lisp and rhotacism) so it makes talking to new people super nerve-racking.

It's not so much talking as having things to talk about. I have big problems with keeping up a conversation with someone I don't know or am nervous around (heaps of people) since I don't know what to say.

Accepting compliments. I never really know what to say, thanks always ends up sounding insincere so I just stumble over my words and end up saying something stupid.

I've learnt, from experience, just say thank you even if it's awkward af.

I only realised this after my vacation but probably controlling fatigue and sleeping on time. I always end up pushing myself to stay up longer (either deliberately OR unintentionally) and it's fine for the most part, but gradually starts eating away my 8 hours of rest.

I flinch (and most of the time close my eyes) whenever anything comes near me - definitely makes sport hard.

I always wished I could sing better. I love to sing, but I'm absolutely awful at it. It kills me lol.

Join your school choir!! :) (if you already haven't  ;D)
I did junior and senior choir from yrs 7-10 and I absolutely loved it!! :)

Yes I did have a singing background, but you're never the best at anything are you!!? So day by day, I was improving!!  :D

And woah! Sounds like not being able to sing seems so detrimental to you for living!!!  ;D ;D :D
