It sucks when u have to give a presentation and you just turn bright red when 30 pairs of eyes are staring at you n then u start to stutter and feel almost light headed and alll ughhh
sometimes my mind would just go blank its horrible aaaaaa
I just dont get how some people can just go up there and perform just fine??, like its nothing,??? I worry about it for a month before the actual presentation and shit myself everyday…. 😭😭😭
glad im not the only one who feels like this even tho its a horrible feeling

hmhhh it gets better once you really REALLY realize how tiny tiny moment it's of your life, how many ppl feel the same and how in the end no one really cares about the dumb presentation and ppl are just using this time to play on their phones, to daydream or doodle. and how none of it really matters

That’s so interesting
I wonder how a person’s personality affects it
Are you an extrovert or an introvert?

Hmm, that I actually don't know, I guess that I'm both? it really depends, but that has also been like that since I remember myself
