jessicaelaine, kindly start thinking before you post. You can't seem to post in a thread without it turning into a massive trainwreck.

(cliche cliche, i know). even if i don't ever get a bid, just going out and seeing what its all about would help me immensely because something like that is so out of my comfort zone, but i don't want it to be.

OMG I love when NPC buses drive the wrong way down NPHC boulevard. Mostly because they can't turn around afterwards.

You have a lot to say on most subjects.

Senusret, as jessicaelaine explained here, a tool bag is a combination of a tool and douche bag, apparently it's worse than being just a tool.

This is just my opinion (and please don't grill me for this :o ) But if you do have severe anxiety disorder, you may want to help yourself by going for other organizations or societies to train your social skills. At least those groups will be less vigorous and you hence a less chance to have an anxiety attack. Give it like a semester and if you're comfortable, you can try next year (though I understand as you wait longer, the chances of being cut are higher).

However, lets say in the worst case scenerio, if you did get cut, you may end up having a worse anxiety because (I don't really know your condition) of the rejection. Please take care yourself, and you should really focus first on your health, your studies and then you social life. Good luck and I wish you the best :)

i never said a group didn't have the right to turn away a prospective because something that cripples her from fitting into their culture, all i said was if that happened the group wasn't right for her and i did not agree with it.
