MODERATORS
I had to do one of these in a university class and I never went to that class again. I never went to the first class in anything again. It strikes me as a social stratification exercise designed put you in your place and establish who the cool people are from the start.
Or maybe people have fun hobbies or interests, and sharing them in a short statement among a small group isn't a death sentence?
This is a social anxiety sub and standing up and being judged by 25 strangers is not sharing with a small group.
Apologies, I didn't mean to demean anyone.
My personal anxiety in a group has been lessend by looking at the social stakes objectively.
25 people get to hear one sentence about my current obsession. If they don't like it, fuck them, no loss to me.
