I’m so fu*ing proud of myself So to begin, i’m 21, and I have a stammer since i was a kid, and unfortunately, as I grew up, my social anxiety grew up with me unfortunately... Today, I did a ppt online presentation for 15 minutes ( I’m studying engineering) Tbh, i was anxious in the first 6 minutes: I stammered, stopped a lot, couldn’t prounouce many words and felt embarassed, like always... But then, I remembered the famous quote by Steve Harvey : "If you’re going through hell, keep going. Why would you stop in hell?" Slowly, I started to control myself, and so my speech. I took my time to prounouce, took a deep breath before words that start with a vowel. I felt x100 better, my speech became fluent, I regained my composure... The last 5 minutes of the presentation were amazing for me, I rarely stopped for a word: 90% of my words were pronounced fluently. Finally, the teacher told me that the presentation was excellent, (even though I suffered the first 6 minutes with my speech) . . So my friends, this presentation boosted my confidence, and I hope for you the same situation. Just face your fears, it’s very normal to be anxious in the beginning, but remember that life is a gift and it’s too short to worry about an oral presentation... Thank your for reading, and good luck
