Do you guys anticipate how talking in front of others is going to go so much it drives you absolutely crazy? With me it’s so hit or miss I never know when I’m going to completely stutter over everything or smooth sail. I never know which it’s gonna be so I sit for hours going over and over the whole situation and how it’s going to play out. My anxiety gets so bad I make myself sick the night before. Like right now. Tomorrow I have to speak in front of the class. I’ve know I’ve had to do this for a good 4 weeks now and I feel like I’m getting executed tomorrow and tonight is my last night alive, if that makes sense. I know I’m making it a big deal because i don’t even have to say that much but I’ve over thought everything to the point where I’m acting like I’m giving a 5 minute speech when I maybe have to say a total of 3 sentences. It’s making me sick. This will probably be the last presentation I ever give as a high schooler thank god. I just know as soon as I walk into that room my courage is gonna falter and I’m gonna start to freak out. No matter how much I tell myself to calm down. The kicker is that it’s not a huge deal. I’m just making it one. This will be the last time I may or may not make a fool out of myself. It puts so much stress on my body it’s insane. My body is telling me to flight flight flight. I have to coax myself to fight when it comes to public speaking. after this, I am done. No college presentations for me. Nothing. I’m tired of this feeling. I hope tomorrow goes by quick. I hope it won’t be as bad as my mind is telling me it’s going to be.
