Does being around kids make you nervous?

I don't know why, but I feel really nervous around kids... I guess it's because kids can be cruel and just speak their minds. Some kids get right in your face and annoy you... I don't know how to handle situations like that and so when I'm out somewhere and there are kids running around getting in your face, I just kind of keep my distance from them. Don't know if it's my shyness or my social anxiety or what.

i had this problem at younger age and one of my cuisine. Yes you are right i was worried to be embaressed by a kid's comment ethier on my body or anything in my look that i'm not comfortable with. MY cuisine she left her job and she stayed now at home for 5 years, she doesn't want to go back to teaching. she is supposed to teach childern at age 4-6 but she quit becasue of that reason

my experience and how i overcome this issue: just take it as a jock if something like this happened to you. for me i LOVE children we have many things in common :). I start smiling or playing with them so i stop thinking that i might hear something embarrassing from them. Kids are very nice i prefer to spend my time with them than adults. just show them some love and they will appreciate your love. whatever you show them, they will react in the same way :)

as i said my advice to you, be prepared for anything just to mitigate the affect of a kid's comment on your feeling. always take it as a jock and laugh. Day by day you will stop getting nervous and you will forget this idea :)

good luck
