Gave a presentation today... Didn't go well I just gave a presentation today... (it sucked) Sometimes very rarely (only once I think) a presentation went well (if well means I stuttered at the start and end only) I totally don't remember what worked maybe it was because I knew the topic well God knows For today's presentation I practiced everyday more than once for a whole week... I didn't stutter while practicing after the first day People say breathe, practice in the mirror take pauses I practiced all that My group had a practice presentation as well I stuttered there but only twice so practice went well When the time came to present I was practicing even before my turn........ The moment I started I don't know ... I froze? I don't remember my mind went numb literally numb it felt like an out of body experience I literally cannot remember what happened clearly I stammered in every sentence and even though my part was already short I missed major points because I just couldn't get them out and I wanted to end it as fast as possible all I know is it was a mess and I wished someone would just end me there after that (it's like my brain was protecting me from the trauma) I don't even remember if I clicked the laptop so the slides would move ahead maybe I was stuck on the first slide lol So yeah ... Practice doesn't help I don't know... I need drugs at this point or I need an era of prerecorded presentations ... That fluke of a presentation I had once ... I want that back No one will remember though the presentation was just a basic one in class for 10 marks ... (I'll probably get a 4) No one will remember my words but whenever I stand in front of the class and get stuck ... They will remember oh yeah this person can't present or this person always talks like this or something my point is a stereotype has been set .... I just wanna go in a hole and die ... I have a major presentation coming up next semester worth 60% of my grade ... I feel sorry for my partner I have read a lot of advice and I have watched videos I practice a week before a presentation but can't really predict how it will be until I'm giving it Today was absolutely horrible I couldn't lift my head in class after that no one probably paid any attention tbh but I was embarrassed as hell duh No one will discuss it with me tomorrow if they do I'll brush it off but later on I'll have to give a presentation again and people will be reminded So yeah I don't know...
