Gilda, after reading this, and several other posts that you've made, I don't really think TA's or pneumatic banking is your problem. You aren't confident enough in yourself girl!
That's why people like the jerk behind you at the bank can get to you. Obviously impressions garnered over the internet can only go so far, but you're pretty consistant in giving the impression of an intelligent woman who doesn't need to work herself into a dither about what other people think. If he wants to yell, hell let him yell. Maybe he'll feel better. Maybe he'll have a heart attack. Either way, it's not gonna impact your life one iota.
Seems to me that trying new things isn't really the problem with you - you've shown you're willing to do that, and you're a college professor which is not by any stretch of the imagination an easy job (if you do it right, which you seem to). So you're obviously a capable person. You just need confidence builders.
This might sound like its coming out of left field, but have you considered (after your arm's better) taking a martial arts class? Beyond the good exercise and the delightful fun of hitting objects while wearing pajamas, very few martial artists lack confidence. It's one hell of a self esteem booster.
