    I get so nervous My voice sounds like I’m about to cry
  • I have a presentation in my class tomorrow and every time I get nervous my voice starts to sound choppy and I forget what was going to say it is so annoying

    The best thing about watching these videos is reading the comments. Having the feeling that you’re not alone 😌

    I wish I could do presentation wearing a motorcycle helmet with dark visor and full body armor lol

    I think the worst part is the eye contact. I'd be fine with presenting if I didn't have to look at people.

    I have super bad social anxiety.. if I even think about something that isn't going to even happen but it'll be embarrassing I'll start getting butterflies in my stomach and feel like I'm about to get sick

    a few things that help me when nervous about presentations: 1. deep breaths are key, before, during and after the presentation! 2. remember that this presentation will come to an end and most likely no one will remember it, so don't stress about doing anything "embarrassing"! 3. act as if you're talking about something you're passionate about! i find that if i act as if i want to be there it helps me actually want to be there! 4. you can pray! i believe in God and ask for Him to calm my nerves before every presentation! hope this helped in some way :) you are far from alone my friend!

    Always remember the audience is on your side... They want you to do well and they are forgiving of mistakes. Even if they are strangers, they are all rooting for you.
  • To all the people that have anxiety, I know how u feel and its the worse feeling ever. Right before presentations its the worssstttt feeling and the only thing I'm worried about is what people think about me. I am trying to learn to not think about what people think about me but i have anxiety and its scary assssffff 😭😭 Here are some of my 4 tips for presenting I hope it makes u even a tiny bit better . 1. Drink water before presenting. It helps with the nervous system. 2. Breath 4 seconds breathing in 7 seconds holding ur breath and breath out 3. When ur presenting focus on what ur doing. TRY not to think about the people around and just try to just explain ur presentation if u know what i mean lol sorry I can't explain things!! 😂 4. Just think to get it over is it because just think about the AMAZZINGGG feeling that u have after u present something 😂 And just think that life will be ok just think positive. Whoever read this thank you lol I hope this helped even a tiny bit but just know that u are not alone because I know how u feel ❤ K byyyeeee 😂

    Something to remember: most people are so nervous and focused on their own performance, they really don’t focus on you. Even if something embarrassing happens, they prob won’t remember. Hopefully this makes u feel a little better

    I have social anxiety. I’ve tried breathing. I’ve tried not worrying about it. I’ve tried everything. It never works. Never. I actually like how honest this video this is. Nothing works. All you can do is fake it. At least, that’s how it is with me.

    I used to cry back in high school when I had to do presentations. So embarrassing!! In varsity, when doing group presentations, I would ask to go first and do introduction part of the presentation and be over with it. Now, I’m a teacher and I stand in front of an audience everyday. I can safely say that’s it’s all in your mind. The nerves come and go but it’s not as bad now. So you can do it too!!

    - your presentation/how well you do it doesn’t define you, you define it, and it’s ok if you mess up - you have information that you’ve studied that you’re trying to share. You’re not a professional presenter, so it won’t be perfect, but you at least know your material - have confidence in that - leave room for error – don’t expect yourself to be perfect, and stay calm when you make any mistakes

    When I speak infront of people I shake and my heart rate goes really fast then I have trouble breathing.
