I think we all had these annoying situations where an uninformed people doesn't know what they are talking about. Do you have any particular one that grinds your gears?

im so sorry to hear that. forcing people to be social or performative is pretty ableist and often does more harm than good. i always find it nice if i am allowed to participate. but not forced. schools often get that wrong in my personal experience.

The amount of presentations in front of the class I'd have to do. Even up into university.

I think the only presentation I was not utterly terrified for was my master thesis presentation, which is also the only presentation that ever mattered. I had plenty of time to prepare, it was fully online (pandemic time), I talked about something I cared about and I did it from home ^^
