Hey OP. If it makes you feel better during my first presentation in university infront of the whole class. I read from a paper and from the 2 paragraphs I could only say out loud 10 words which probably took around 2 minutes. I just said thank you and stood beside the board hoping to die. To make matters worse my group mate stepped forward and basically presented my part, making me wanna die even more. But it DOES get better. Just stick with it, and its okay to get embarrassed once in a while. With time you’ll learn to grow a really thick skin.
