Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

« Go Back
During a "quarter-life crisis"which has led me to quit my job and go back to Uni, I joined a gym, to develop my body from pathetic to barely adequate. I decided to join a "body combat" class, rated for beginners. 10 minutes into this one hour class, everyone was repeating a routine of kicks and punches, while a sweaty, wheezy man tried to slide unnoticed out of the room.
