Currently attending a good university in my country, but I'm having a really hard time asking questions during class. Being introverted, I usually just wait until the end of the lecture to ask the professor directly once everyone leaves. I talk myself out of asking questions in front of the class because I feel like they might be stupid, especially since no one else really asks anything either. I really want to overcome this, but my anxiety gets in the way: whenever the professor asks something and I know the answer, or whenever I actually try to speak up, my heart starts racing.
