Can't talk in certain situations?

Question:

There are certain situations at school when suddenly I can't talk and I cannot stop smiling. For example, in my eighth grade English class a few times I could give the definition for an advanced or obscure word and my teacher would smile and ask me how I knew it. I tried hard to force myself to say something and stop smiling but I couldn't. Often he would spend quite a while trying to make me speak, which could become awkward. I normally can give presentations in front of my class without much trouble and at home I talk a lot and often am obnoxious.
Thanks very much for any answers.

Shy. you will grow out of it.

what is the question?

PMS?

a lot of people have this problem and i think the way to solve it is by GRADUALLY talking more and more when you usually would have been embarrassed or too shy. just take baby steps and you basically just have to force yourself to do things. the same thing happened to me. you may not believe it but i used to be so frikkin shy it was unreal. i was afraid to talk to anyone. just nervous about what they thought about me or what they said to other people about me. but you just have to make your self do it and everytime that you succeed you will gain a tiny bit of confidence, and gradually it will build up and you will be the person that you want to be,.

Hi! Well it sounds like the teacher put you on the spot, some times when that has happens to me, I'm not able to answer either. So don't worry, its normal. Some people that are put on the spot have the same trouble too. It sounds like you do quite well! You seem very smart! Keep up the great job! As you go along situations like that will get easier! Hugs!
