I was a school band nerd, and I hated speaking in class. But I had no problem performing in front of a packed football stadium during the biggest games of the year, and I didn't have a problem doing competitions either. I did theater for about a year, and I finally figured it out. I had to be authentically myself during presentations, and I got to embody a character during theater, and thus didn't have to be myself. And with marching band, I got to hide behind my instrument. And since I was wearing the full uniform, shako and plume (the hat and feather things marching band people wear), as well as my bass drum, I figured all people saw was just one of the drumline members, and not necessarily me. I've since played with various rock bands here and there, and I can perform in front of a crowd just fine. But I'm still deathly afraid of public speaking and making phone calls. Sorry for this paragraph of a comment lol

Fun fact: The nervousness you feel doing public speaking? It NEVER goes away! You can do it hundreds of times again and again, but only way it gets better is if you're speaking in front of a smaller audience than what you're used to.

[@foxylady5]

I wish people would understand this like teachers or parents, they believe that every human being can speak well in public if they've read too many books. (at least that's what they said to me) but its not like that, I love reading and I read many many books but still my nervousness doesn't go away when I'm in public and try to speak, and then I stutter or even forget what I was talking about etc. but especially my mom doesn't understand this

Back in school when I was 14 years old I really had difficulties with presentations too. Now in job school with 22 years I'm nailing like noone else does in my class. My tip for you is to concentrate on what you are doing (concentrate on the thing you're presenting and not on the people). Also practicing and preparing helps, drink something before you start, deep Breath and then nail it. If you make a failure, don't let yourself be thrown out of line, if you quickly just accept it and keep going noone will notice (besides the teacher maybe because they saw more way presentations than your classmates). And most important : BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

She murmurred that she was sick. He asked what was wrong, she did not answer clearly. He said she had to 'sit normally' and when she did not respond (or only sighed) he walked over to her and touched her shoulder. She moved away and shook her head in silence. He did it again. We yelled; 'Stop! Don't do that, sir! She does not want that!' and we hinted that she was in pain from female problems. He then put his hand on her shoulder, shook her firmly and said loudly; 'You need to-" and before he could finish, she opened her mouth and it was like a firehose. Green vomit, like in that one movie (I dunno, only seen references) was éverywhere. The table, the floor, the wall, the desk, the chair. It sprayed out, everywhere, she ran away to the toilets and fainted there. I understand that maybe he wanted a clear response or something, but we clearly warned him.

I felt this on a spiritual level. Once in 6th grade I was so scared of getting up in front of the whole class to present, so instead, when I was called, I just laid my head on my desk, refused to go to the front and cried. I never did actually do that presentation. I also cried when my German teacher asked me to read my German presentation in front of the class. I was never good at German, so I had fudged most of the presentation, and was not expecting her to actually ask us to read it. I started bawling from stress, and put my head on my desk in shame, while my teacher was asking why I was making such a big fuss about it. I was too emotional to speak, so several of the other students had to step in and tell her that public speaking is the #1 fear in the US. She was surprised, and asked if I could take a class in it to get more used to it. The problem with that was, I had taken one already. Only a year or a half before hand. I couldn't speak still, but luckily, one of the kids that took that class with me was also in my German class and told her that I had in fact taken a class and we learned absolutely nothing to help with my crippling fear of it. I don't think I ever actually read that out loud either. What I have learned from presentations in school- 1) I hate them 2) They teach us nothing 3) I am an introvert 4) I hate public speaking with a fiery passion of a thousand suns (Also, when faced with insurmountable anxiety, I want to curl up in a ball and cry in a corner where nobody can see me.)

This video is relatable to different sorts of people, like maybe with severe social anxiety or just generally scared of talking in front of people. Though I don't really fall into either one of those categories, I am still a shy introvert who does not like to take oral exams, especially Cantonese oral exams I don't know why, and I also quite dislike the institutionalized education system with a weird passion. But then it might be a surprise to those who knew me as an introvert that I would be willing to present, even when I am a secondary 6 student now and when I was a primary school student. It might be due to my expressiveness (as you can see in my KZbin videos) and honesty, which now I would be frank like, "Okay, so...uh...I honestly think that..." and go on with it without being uncomfortable, as I know how to speak. All in all, one to their own opinions, I suppose.

Want tips for presenting? Here ya go: 1. like the random guy on tiktok said, choose three people (left, middle and right) and just speak looking at them, nobody will notice and you will seem to present to the entire class. (i don't use this personally but i tried once and it went well) 2. remember that's just your classmates. you know them, they know you, you see them every day and you will see them again. 3. pretend it's not graded. just you talking about stuff you like, no teacher. 4. convince yourself the topic is interesting and research as much as you can. 5. the method i use: write just the basics on your slides, research EVERYTHING the evening before and then just repeat everything you remember. makes you seem smart as fuck, teachers like people who don't just read slides. also jokes. add jokes. or if you have something funny to say go for it. nobody will care and the best outcome is a few people laugh. 6. pretend you're explaining the topic to your friend. aybe even look at your friend while presenting, it makes you more relaxed. 7. look at your presentation if you have troube looking at the audience. if it's something as simple as a school presentation they will think you are just reading the text, but really it just helps with focusing. if not the presentation, then just find something else that will be your anchor point. take a quick look around the audience every once in a while and go back to your anchor, whether it be the presentation or someone's bag in the back of the classroom. you don't have to spend the entire 15 minutes looking at your audience, the reminder nobody even cares about the work you put into presenting this. just remember to look at them every once in a while so they remember you are still speaking to them Ngl i used to be so bad at presentations but somehow got better. And i still forget i am actually good at presenting every time we have to present. Every time i will still be nervous as fuck and anxious and all that shit but when the time comes i will always be the most extroverted and talkative person anyone has ever seen. The teachers even compliment my improvisation and presentation skills (honestly that's probably what made me get better at it, i basically live for praise). Just relax, remember it ain't that serious and take it easy.

i remember the time the kid who is usually "sick" actually showed up. when it was time for her part she couldn't even remember which animal she had to talk about. said it was some sort of fish. the teacher tried guessing which fish for a solid five minutes before someone reminded her her part was actually about the duck.

So relatable And your voice is beautiful

[@alishanightshade3270]

I have so many bad experiences about school presentation. It all started with my soft voice. I was a shy and nervous child. The one thing that I heard the most is “Stop! I can’t hear your voice!” Now I realise it’s an ironic evolution about my past presentation. Teachers! I’m trying so hard to let you hear my voice. I really thought I speak up but you still can’t hear it from the back of the classroom. I was nervous and my voice already soft. It makes me more softer than normal but I didn’t know. It’s ironic. When I’m 10, you can’t hear my voice. When I’m 13, classmates sitting in the first roll can’t hear my voice. When I’m 15, I can’t hear my voice. I think I got selective mutism. I could do group discussion in 10 but it get worse when time goes by. No matter how many times you told me to speak up or telling me you never see a student failed on an easy presentation in your life or you can’t end the class if I don’t present well. My answer is always “I tried ALREADY and I can’t control it! I don’t know why my brain being so dumb on my voice!” I never speak in normal voice. My family, my friends knows I have a soft voice most of the time. Do you think I want to fail on all presentations and discussions? Once I suddenly got amnesia and forgot everything in the midway. Even I was well-prepared and have a note on my hand. I can’t recall and read anything. Now I have no confidence on presentation and unwilling to be happy when I prepared it. I don’t want to turn out actually really bad. What am I happy for? For disappointment? Even if they thought my presentation is good I still not willing to be glad about it.

[@marinette2712]

Bro I'm 15 rn and I can't tell you how relatable this is. "She's just shy, she'll grow out of it" is the biggest lie I've heard in my whole life. It's literally getting worse and worse every year, it's gotten to a point where I can't even speak one word. I just giggle when somebody's trying to make me speak but I'm internally screaming and crying.

For those of you here who are college bound, please know there are alllwayyys presentations in many of your classes. As someone who was so afraid of them I once as a 4th grader drank dirty dish water to make myself sick so I could stay home (didn't work I just puked n was fine) I had to figure out a way to get through them. I did. Here's what to focus on: 1. You are not the only one nervous. While you're presenting, know the others are too busy being worried about themselves going next and aren't really listening anyway. 2. No matter how bad you do, someone's is always just as bad or worse it's common. 3. PRACTICE IT FIRST! Never never neverrr go up there without a plan and the knowledge that you're ready. It's the not feeling ready or good enough that makes us nervous. So practice it. 4. Don't take it so seriously. If you mess up, smile and say whoops and just keep going. 5. FINALLY...please always remember that confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It comes with knowing you are competent. Confidence is nothing without competence. 💯

[@quillquail]

i remember in my 6th grade english class we had to do this TedEd presentation i’ll never forget. the entire buildup to my turn was filled with other people going “TEEHEE IM SO NERVOUS” then doing it perfectly fine while i was dreading silently in the background. when it was my turn i was able to push out the first half but then eventually i just. stopped. like my brain finally caught up to what i was doing and didn’t wanna say words anymore. all i could do was stand there looking at everyone with an open mouth that wouldn’t work and i eventually turned to the teacher and all she did was wave her arms and say “go on!” HUH?? EXCUSE ME?? I PHYSICALLY CANT MY VOCAL CHORDS WONT LET ME. i was eventually able to pump out the rest but god i hated it. and ofc she took of points for it. luckily i’m much better at presenting now but goddamn.

[@StarSpangledUta]

If I'm being honest, I prepared this presentation 5 minutes before class started, I love procrastination I'll pretend to be excited sharing boring information About the history of why sporks are underrated Class presentations make me wanna throw up My teacher keeps telling me to grow up She says that big kids do not cry So why are there tears running out of my eyes? Nobody in the class is even listening to me That one kid in the back is starting to fall asleep He's also wearing shorts and it's the middle of December I'll add some more fluff and now this presentation's over Class presentations make me nauseous I always try to be cautious That I don't say I hate them in front of my teacher cuz that might make her sad I hate presentations I hate presentations I hate public speaking I also hate inflation I hate the way I cry in class every day

My teacher laughed at a joke a student made during my presentation, was really funny 💀 then I never went to school again.

[@helenetrstrup4817]

I have always dreaded presentation up until the point I've gotten started and I never wanted to get picked. They're usually not too bad once I have gotten started and I am left wondering why I am dreading it so much. Have I enjoyed some presentations? Yes. Have I bailed presentations? Also yes. We had a presentation about the menstrual cycle in biology once. We made a song, it was one of the few fun presentations. I bailed on a presentation on "beginnings" because my group didn't include me, they played games when we were given time to prepare, and afterwards when they stuck their heads together I wasn't asked about my opinion. I wasn't given a choice, I was expected to do what they had decided when they told me less than 15 minutes before class, so I wasn't going to make a fool of myself and left them to figure things out themselves. I left for a driving lesson instead and ditched school. It's been 9 years, I don't know how it went and I don't care.

I gave an a presentation on appearance vs. reality in Hamlet, and I prepared the presentation like 30 minutes before class started and I came late (my mom let me stay home until English class started for that reason, thx mom 😳) The only practice I had was in my car presenting it to my mom and I was extremely nervous once I went up and I thought it was super obvious while I was presenting. I wanna be a professional actress so I wanted to present and make it look natural but I felt so nervous, so afterwards I asked my teacher if I looked nervous and he said I actually looked really confident and I presented like I was having a conversation and not just reading a script. I got my mark back for my oral communication and it was an A- and I got such a boost of confidence from it, I loved it and hated it at the same time but I’m so glad my teacher couldn’t tell I was nervous 😭😌

This video is so true I had this exact same thing happen in school but without us telling the truth, on the last week of school we had to write a script about stress and make a video for it so me and my friend were going to present on the last day of school and we went through all of that stress.Finally the last day of school comes and OUR TEACHER FROGOT TO LET US PRESENT.
