I had a presentation yesterday. I had to read out around 50 words, had a long ass block on the word “encounter” somehow couldn’t say it after 2 deep breaths, but I fought thru it and carried on with a smile and trying to be as confident as possible. Yes it wasn’t the best experience to have that long block in front of 50-70 ppl but it’s who I am and I’d rather be proud of who I am and carry on with a smile instead of hating myself. Also majority of the people will forget about what happened after a few minutes.
