Im the odd one out?

Question

So this weekend i had a weekend training scuba class, and there was around 15 people or so. When we did our training execerzizes, i felt so slow, it seemed like everyone would be done there exerczizes before me, and i'd frustrate the scuba instructors on more then one occasion if i still couldn't understand something. I feel very stupid, not to mention i had the lowest final test mark in the class. ughhh and of course me being a quiet guy everyone else around me seems to be having fun conversing with everyone except me! I feel like everyone is looking down on me like im a dumb-dumb head. How do can i stop being so self-conciensious?

Answer 1

I am betting a lot of people have been thru similar circumstances before. I know I have.....
I don't have any big words of wisdom, except you are not a dumb dumb head.. Just keep trying and do your best.
Try to mingle with the other people more, (I know, easier said than done).
Explain to your instructor that you feel bad for not being able to keep up with the others. That may open a window for you to mingle more with him and the other participants.
This is suppose to be something fun.. So do your best.
Not everyone can thrive at everything they want to do or learn.
I cant at least.. But I don't give up, I just go at my own pace.
