Is it normal that I panic when the teacher says find a partner?

  • I always hated that, mostly because I prefer to work alone. People who prefer to pair up have already mentally chosen a partner, so it's all good for them. I remember the worst used to be when the two quiet kids who didn't latch on to a partner got paired together by the teacher and you'd both sit there silently, or at best agree it was a dumb assignment.

    If it happens now at work I just kind of naturally take over and do a kick-ass job, but I wasn't that secure back when I was in school.

    • that's usually how it was with me, almost everyone else already had a partner, so i was partnered with the other kid who didn't pick. Usually though, i was the only one left after everyone else picked, so one group ended up having one more person than everyone else, or i did it by myself, or with the teacher.
