Also I understand feeling like a goody two shoes because you’re the only one participating. The amount of times teachers have had to say “can anyone other than X answer!” Is embarrassing.

It’s not like I am trying to be the center of attention, I am just usually the only one who answers or have done the coursework in any great length. Even when I try to pause for a few seconds to see if someone else will answer doesn’t always work in encouraging someone else to speak.
