Yesterday I had a bad presentation in my philosophy class and was berated by my instructor in front of the whole class for it. I made my preparations and wholeheartedly studied my topic/material for days but I just couldn't for the life of me deliver in a class setting. Not only was I assaulted by my social anxiety but my mind went pretty much blank the whole time. I was stumbling over my words and I failed to make any concise points so I eventually ended up just reading everything on my slides until the whole thing is over. I prepared notes written on a piece of paper that would supposedly help me navigate through the presentation but I got lost over them and I just couldn't make my mind function then. I REALLY did my best but I just couldn't give a presentation in a huge crowd even when my life depended on it.

I don't even care for any advice on how I could deliver a better presentation but how can I cope with the reality that I'll never amount to anything because I'm an autistic loser?

if it makes you feel any better i did my 4th year undergrad thesis presentation the day my dog got hit by a car

i didn't stand up, i mumbled and probably cried between slides, i didn't answer questions

i got ripped apart but still walked away with a 90 final grade

I did it by being less serious about everything. You need to find some you're comfortable with when having a presentation. So have your presentation go about dank memes or dead hedgehoges or some memes specific for your country. If I weren't known as the goofy kid (and I mean in the cool sense, not the "what a fucking idiot" sense), I probably wouldn't have been remembered very well at all, as sad as that sounds. Surely you must able to talk smoothly to your friends and family, right? So talk about something so stupid that the class-setting dissapears altogether.

For the record, I wasn't as much of an autistic loser as you are probably, so I'm not sure this works.
