> I can’t even take lunch break for weeks because the work load was twice as my colleagues were “sick”.
Nope. I am not skipping meals. I am not a machine. Fuck that.

Fully the professor's fault. Sadistic behaviour threatening you in front of the whole class when you're clearly already nervous.

I lose more and more respect for teachers.

As a manager, I can tell you that talking bad about your colleagues at your level is always a mistake. You can talk about the bosses (although I would suggest not to their face) or the people below you; but talking about those on the same level, and especially those with seniority, will create a level of animosity that will only make you want to quit.

Toxic work environment, you need a different job.

I've been cooking since I was 5. Made beef short ribs multiple times right? I was 20? Made them for a special dinner with friends. I, to this day, have NO idea what I did wrong. Imagine 4 people trying to cut into flubber-like hockey pucks. They bent, they squished, they slithered off the plates. They were impervious to stabbing ( and when dining with Marines , they tried). I took them away and ordered pizza.

Nothing wrong with your English here, so it seems more related to your issue with public speaking.
If you have noone to speak English to, try "narrating" yourself in English when you are at home by yourself. Just voice everything you are doing and/or thinking in English. This will help you get more comfortable speaking it.
Also, try talking to your teacher about your issue with introversy / public speaking if they are in any way approachable for these things, and ask them for other tips in trying to get used to speaking English (your writing seems more than fine) - tips other than "you just have to get over it", ofcourse. They night have some good resources for you to use.
Related, but irrelevant. This is why once I started gaming online, I always looked for international groups / communities. It got me used to speaking English all the time.

Well, your English writing appears to be excellent.

Try to talk to her in private after class and tell her about your issues. Your English here seems flawless.
Also, find help for your issues, it can only get worse and surely that's not your only problem in life. Another introvert here, going out helps a lot IMHO.

Bad teacher moment. Sorry you were on the receiving end of it. They most likely are frustrated with themselves for feeling like they’ve failed YOU as a teacher; however, they should never have singled you out in such a vulnerable way. That’s not teaching.

To this day I remember what one of my exes made and brought me to work. Spaghetti and a sunny side up fried egg on top. Still melted my heart.

I love pizza, but for some reason, I'm really stuck on the cheesecake. That sounds wonderful.

I dated a girl who told me she wasn’t very good at cooking. First time I stayed at her place she decided to make me eggs. She burnt them, and also ruined everything else she was cooking. It was so sweet that she tried to feed me, I didn’t care how the food turned out. We’ve been married for eight years she makes miracles happen in the kitchen all the time, and I’m more in love with her now than I’ve ever been. Don’t worry about burning the food, if he’s the right guy he won’t care.

Might be a keeper. Did that to my boyfriend once. Totally messed up cooking for him. Still jokes about it years later, but now I am an excellent cook. And boyfriend is now husband of more than 20 years.

I can finish a large pizza in one sitting without munchies. Am I a fatass?

Stuff happens to everyone with the opposite sex. In high school (long time ago) I ran into my crush in the high school office. He said something funny, I laughed--and blew the biggest snot bubble I've ever blown in my life. He just stood there smiling at me and I snorted it back in and the moment passed. Embarrassing as hell, but not fatal.

Kinda sounds like they are doing you a favor by avoiding you? Why would you want to talk and joke with people that immediately rush to tell the boss the second you say something negative?
