["I've been taking martial arts classes.", 'Oh that sounds so fun, do you have a black belt?', "no I'm really bad at it. I get so nervous and uncomfortable there, but I want to learn it."]
I understand that, I don't even like going to the gym, because I feel like people are always watching me and it makes me feel awkward.
I'm taking martial arts classes. They make me very nervous. I had to demo in front of the class the other day.
