take a flask of vodka to school and have a drink before the presentation to take the "edge" off.

actually they would be nipples in females. and you don't have breasts?

You could always pop a pill.... MDMA makes it nearly impossible to feal anxiety or fear (that's why it used to be used in psychotherapy for terminal patients... it let them discuss their fear of death without experiencing the fear itself).

Dude! I feel EXACTLY the same way as you. I know almost everyone, know the topic, and I still feel so nervous! It sucks doesn't it!

Almost everyone feels a little anxiety. The key is minimize that aniety. The more you can convince yourself that you know what you're talking about and that you won't mess up the less anxious you'll be. Also, the more you do it and realize that nothing bad will happen the easier it gets.

I actually used to practice talking my way out of screw ups in my presentation...

You should remind yourself that when you drop E.

Originally posted by Lil-H Hello folks... Im just wondering about something, if you guys think this is funny, fuck off I am "scared" of talking in front of groups, say a presentation in class, even though it's only 15-20 people, AND even when I know most of the people. Why do you guys think some people are like this, like nervous when talking in front of e.g. a class? Besides from that I am normal (trust me ) lots of friends and its not like im only staying at TA and have computer friends.. hehe Are there any "cure" for this? well, you know what I mean Edit:for topic Meant to write puss Y, but only got ***

one of the biggest fears people have is speaking in front of groups

i have the same issue.

so relax, its normal.

Originally posted by Lil-H Well, Im having my talk tomorrow in English. its a review of the movie Hero.. Anyone seen it?

nice... good film. loved the cinematography, esp. the colour schemes in a lot of the scenes.

presumably if you are presenting on that film because you liked it, yeh? when you're presenting, try to focus on the parts of the movie that you are most passionate about (if the presentation format permits) - if you are talking about something that you feel strongly about, sometimes that can help overcome peripherals like the crowd of people you're talking to. think of them as a group of people you are trying to convince of the phenomenal nature of the film.

i find the fear of judgement is often more strong than the fear of actual presentation. try to take the stance that you really don't give a shit what they think, then go with that.

oh, and picturing everyone in their underwear or whatever is just a lose-lose situation.........
