CORRECT THIS FRAGMENT 

Expressing my feelings is just not my thing. I have a knack for always hurting someone else's and saying awkward stuff. I doesn't matter what the situation is. 

I was in art class when the teacher suggests I go to the board and look at a painting by Picasso and express my feelings. As I made my way to the board, my stomach slowly turned into a giant knot of fear. 

When I finished speaking and I opened my eyes, everyone was looking at my with surprise. I seemed as if  I had completed the task perfectly. Eventually the teacher said that the description had been perfectly accurate as, when dealing with such abstract art any feeling or emotion can be arisen. 

I had arrived there and started stuttering as I was unsure about what to say. Before, I heard someone say 'just let it flow'. I took a last look at the painting, close my eyes and start expressing myself without looking at anyone else.
