I can't be alone in this.

Especially at cadets b/c the F/sgt always spends half an hour trying to get them to yell. Here's the deal: at cadets - you yell. You yell out everything: when you're talking, when you're calling out time in drill. But some people just don't and we get held up for half an hour standing at attention b/c some incompetent little twit can't yell "Permission to fall in F/Sgt" properly...

At school its pretty bad too - everytime it comes to presentation time they make such a big deal out of it and the teacher gives them excuses to not present or to do a shitty job because they're 'naturally shy'.
Luckily - high school teachers don't give a shit about people's personality and I'm not so bothered anymore...

Nowaday I just laugh them when they screw up - I mean come on - your'e in Grade 11 get over yourself and get off your ass...
Doing a fucking presentation won't kill you...
..or will it?

That has nothing to do with passive-aggressive people. You just sound like an asshole who has no respect for shy or self-conscious people. Maybe you should try to get to know these kinds of people before you go tooting your all-knowing, mind-reading anus of yours.

Well, we really shouldn't be putting a blanket statement like that for these types of people. Some people are so unconfident in themselves that they push themselves further than a confident person might ... and others might just give up. It all really just depends on the person.

Also, no matter how confident you are, you should constantly question yourself and make yourself better. Modesty is just as important, if not moreso, than confidence, in my opinion.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
