>tfw presentation tomorrow
Can't sleep, feel like shit, nervous as fuck.
Why can't I just be normal
i am going to be completely serious here
drink like 2 or 3 shots of liquor, or drink like 4 beers, glasses of wine, whatever you like
alcohol is like flipping the normalfag switch on in your brain temporarily, it's like magic

Man up, the only way to gain confidence, is to confront your fears.

doing weird shit is better than doing no shit 2bh
you'll just give less of a fuck about what you say, you wont be mulling over it a thousand times a second with all the eyes on you wondering if you're being awkward like you would sober
Take small pauses inbetween words, that might help. I'll be thinking of your tomorrow buddy good luck!

Anyone know why this guy was hired to do photoshoots with a noose around his neck?
Don't worry. Literally everyone is nervous. Just some people can hide it better. Go out there and talk about what you know nothing else. Just be well spoken, not confident. As long as you get the message across you'll be fine.

As someone who's job it has been to give presentations daily for the last 4.5 years, I feel for you buddy.
Just remember, you only feel nervous because your brain instinctively thinks you need all the cucks of society to survive, but you don't, you could literally get up there, shit in front of everyone and be fine.
I always find a confident opening paves the way for a smooth presentation, as you cannot rehearse your presentation over and over enough to ever get comfortable with it, try to get comfortable with introducing yourself and what you will be presenting, ie (Good morning everyone, I am anon and I will be talking to you about my mom getting fucked by a nigger)
also bring some water, if your throat gets dry you will want it, and if you have to take a moment to gather your thoughts it can act as a buffer so you don't seem like a fucking retard.
avoid saying ums and uhs, let there be moments of silence rather than this, filler words are killer words.
you will inevitably do something with your hands or your feet, the trick to making this look natural is to do it in a smooth motion. What I mean by this is if you are going to pace, do it slowly, walk to one side of the room. pause, look around the room while talking and then walk back.
I think that's all the tips I have, I still get nervous no matter how long it has been, Good luck tomorrow!

what's your presentation about?
I always hated them too. I was terrible at them.
Good Luck Robo-Friend!
I wish the bests for your presentation
>>27135835
most people are nervous about stuff like that
you are normal
Deep and steady breathing helps. A few seconds and few seconds out. Deep and steady like Tyrone with your gf.

This.
Was a nervous wreck at presentations too until I found that a few shots of vodka or whiskey is all you need. Trying to 'tough it out' will only make your stage freight worse with more presentations as the anxiety and panic will be more strongly associated. Go with alcohol or benzos, dont try smoking weed before a presentation if you have stage freight, I learned why the hard way.

Remember that your life does not revolve around what goes down in school (I assume unless work presentation), more than likley you will never see your peers again and desu they don't care or will forget anything you do wrong. Your life revolves around what you do alone for fun.

I took Theatre studies at a level, eat bananas the potassium helps. Know that you'll always be nervous at first, but if you practice once you get into the swing of things you should find confidence.
Has anybody tried giving a presentation while drunk or buzzed a tiny bit? I'm always afraid if I tried it'd be painfully obvious that I have drank and that I would fuck up my presentation due to being drunk
