Ok so I am genuinely at a loss here. I rarely ever interfere conversations in which a person, is speaking to me or in a group sharing a story or something. But sometimes people like teachers and professor might address to 2 people among group of 3/4 people and I respond and get embarassingly scolded. Today was such a day. I was hanging out with 2 classmates. A professor suddenly approached and asked what they were hanging out there for, and I, sensing that these people(my friends) might be at trouble so I said " oh they are just hanging out with me" and boom the prof got mad "did I ask you?? And yada yada…" I feel like she already disliked me before but similar situation has happened before with other people and I feel like i really find it difficult to not interfere, like almost an instinct . And most of the times this has happened because I said smth to get someone off trouble. I am really embarassed about what happened today and as a already very socially anxious person, this makes me wanna lock myself up in my room and never speak again
