Today, I was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was terribly late for class, so I rushed to the classroom door, thinking it was unlocked. I smacked face-first into the glass, and awkwardly fell to the floor. Once I got back up, I peeked through the glass, only to realise it wasn't even my class. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML
Today, the clock in the study lounge was off, so I was half-an-hour late to class. I was too embarrassed to walk in late, so I sat for the next half-hour with my ear against the door trying to hear the lecture. People stopped to ask if there was something wrong with me. Yeah, probably. FML
Today, I had an extreme panic attack in the middle of class. I interrupted another person's presentation, burst into tears, and ran out of class whilst everyone looked at me. FML
Today, I had to present a powerpoint in front of my class. When I was finished, no one clapped. On my way back to my seat, I slipped on a pencil and fell straight on my face. That's when everyone clapped. FML
Today, I accidentally farted in the middle of class. Thinking I got away with it, I just kept doing my work until some kid across the room says, "I could have done better." FML
Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML
Today, I fell asleep in my last period class. When I woke up my teacher said "you missed your bus". I grabbed all my stuff and ran out the room. My class mates were standing outside the class laughing. We still had an hour left in class. FML
Today, I sneezed so bad in public that I dropped my coffee, kicked it while trying to catch it, and watched it slide dramatically across the floor into someone’s shoe. They gasped like I'd committed a crime. I just whispered, “Sorry” and fled. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be thankful it wasn't another scenario where you tripped and fell on your face. With your anxiety that would've felt worse so no biggie Op :)

Shows up late AND ruins the teachers coffee AND possibly causing a mess. That's like a hole on one for a disruption. Haha.

Everyone clapped? That must have been a really unpopular lecturer...

21 - there is? Which one? Is it, "I'm sorry to hear that but, you deserve it" or "I'm sorry to hear that and, your life sucks"?

You should have yelled, "**** Starbucks! Overpriced, pretentious, yuppie shit! Guess what, it's burnt!!" I guess if you're shy (the unpretentious way to say "social anxiety"), that's not in the cards, but it would be ******' funny!

Or just take it all in stride and be like "thank you, thank you!"

Social anxiety is an actual disorder. It is shyness to the point of it seriously affecting your quality of life. People do misuse it to just mean shy.

Social anxiety isn't just shyness. It's so much more.

If you had been on time, this wouldn't have happened. Or do you have a fear of alarm clocks too?
rhysfucker 24
Alarm clock anxiety? What's the technical term for that?

perdix 31
Are you sure it's not "extreme alarm social clock anxiety?"
random_ribbons 15
I always had a problem being on time for school, but that's because in addition to my social anxiety I have school phobia and it took a lot from me just to get there, let alone on time. If OP had a similar situation, it may not be that they didn't want to wake up but that they were trying their best to get there. On the other hand, they might just have woken up late, and if so this comment was pointless.
