I presented in front of the class today
I haven't presented in over 10 years. I remember the last being in the 8th grade, it was a biology presentation. anyway... omg. I was shaking, i was stuttering mess. when my part was over i dropped to the ground and hid behind the desk LMAO it was kinda funny, i had to get up eventually. I've communicated with my professor beforehand, explaining that I have really bad "social anxiety" (I try to avoid mentioning avpd idk why) so she said it was okay if I wanted to skip the presentation but then in the moment i realized that this would be a good opportunity to say f it and challenge my deeply entrenched fears and anxieties. And my professor loved our project so much and called it the best, and knowing that I basically did all the work i was lowk like 🙈 lol yay I'm just really proud of myself. in the past i would have beat myself up over my mistakes and felt ridiculously embarrassed but at this point i learned its important to show myself endless grace and compassion. anyway I wish someone like anyone at all would understand how hard it was for me to do this and i think yall would understand tht feeling so yea. Yay
