Jesus mate. I don't think you need to go see a doctor. But your current course of fixing the problem is obviously not working.

Try reading aloud. Not going to be a cure all, but it will help you get used to speaking in class.

I'm pretty introverted and while I knew a lot of the answers in class and had the ability to offer discussion, I wouldn't. Not out of fear, I would just come up with the answer in my head and move on kind of following the discussion mentally.
Reading aloud got me used to hearing my voice so that actual class participation became normal. It really helped me out in debates and discussions (many of my profs took that sort of thing into consideration for final grades).
Thats how i was during my undergrad degree and during discusions in class now. I've noticed (especially on here) then when I say stuff in debates it will more often than not just end the debate or would kick off an even bigger debate.

I will try the reading aloud thing - I have a lot of reading to do at the moment lol

Thanks for the advice mate :tup:
