Feeling embarrassed and stupid

okkkkk so there is a certain set of teachers in my school who have all taught me at least once in many years in the same department, and whenever i talk to them about work or my career i feel like im giving really stupid answers and just generally feel frustrated with myself. I want to make them all proud of me because they all know me and teach the subjects that I love, so I always want to impress them or soemthing but end up regretting ever talking to them because i think they think i'm stupid :/ am i just being really weird, worrying over nothing? i'm self concious much of the time maybe this is just me being obsessively concious or something. the thing is they are all really nice people and I don't know why I always end up feeling this way after talking to one of them :s weiiiird. I can talk to other teachers in subjects im don't like so yeah thats me done. what do you think of this? and what should I do?

    Like the person above me said, you're perfectly fine. I feel exactly the same way! Maybe you put a lot of unneeded pressure on yourself to make them proud of you, so it makes you extra nervous. Try relaxing a little -- hell, you and me both! XD

    That's 100% normal.

    To be honest, I feel that when-ever a teacher asks me a question in the middle of class. I feel that whatever I say is stupid and I get embarrassed even if it's the right answer. Though, I think it's probably because everyones staring at me.
