Forget a word,Lost my fear, Gained strength

I froze when I forgot how to spell ‘which’ and then I realized no one cared.
Hi everyone . I am Arfa . I am pretty shy and very introverted, which means I often keep my thoughts to myself and worry about little things.But sometimes those moments teach us the biggest lessons like it happened with me.
It was a normal day in my English class. We were learning homophones.When the teacher called me on the board and asked me to identify which homophones will come on the sentence. I knew it was “WHICH “ but as I was writing , my hand froze .”Wait , what was it? Witch? Wahh? I don’t even know “.Everyone would laugh at me , think fast!’ I said to myself when my anxiety kept reaching the top. I was choked and powerless at that moment. It was tight – chested. But then Miss called someone else to take over and I was completely triggered. But after some time the lesson ended .
When I asked my friend,”Did you know what just happened?
They blinked at me and said,” what ?”
Thats what hit me hard .No one cares .I had been fighting a battle in my head and outside the world hadn’t noticed.
I thought I failed.I thought they were laughing but no one noticed.
Sometimes , the scariest moments are just tiny cracks… where courage quietly slips in !
From then, I gained confidence and enjoyed my life without thinking what others would think because at last it is u and no one! 🙂
