got you beat! 4th grade pee!!
Whew, girl, I sympathize. When I was in fourth grade , I was in ballet class... my ballet teacher was a mean old biddy and had some kind of Rules about when you could go pee and when you could not. I got myself into a situation like you mention and ended up peeing on her pristine dance floor. Egads. I still cringe at that memory.
I'm a lot like you, really, I overanalyze things and worry too much about the little things I do. I think there are a lot of people like us. My only advice is to work hard at being comfortable with yourself, knowing that you have special gifts and talents, and not letting the popular culture stuff you DON'T know make you feel bad about yourself. My parents never let us listen to popular music, or watch TV, so when my high school friends were all making Saturday Night Live jokes and references, I had to stand there like a dummy and pretend to get it.
But in retrospect (I think I'm probably quite a bit older than you), it's all for the best. I know things they don't know! My mind isn't cluttered with all that crap they ingested growing up! :)
Relax. You're just fine!
