benzo
Get autistically into your topic (works best if it's something you actually like) and sperg out. That's what I do. I'm awkward as all get up, but I've had to give 2 hour presentations for seminars before and it was no biggie at all. I just let the autism flow.
15 minutes goes by pretty fast when you get into the flow of talking.

Talk sitting. I remember my first presentation, I was trembling.
>>27404769
That's the best advice you have for OP?
A jewpill?
Just do a rehearsal, know your topic and do your thing.
>>27404699
I usually either kill myself or do it and almost pass out and look like the most autistic person ever, literally
>>27404769

These are probably better suggestions tho
>>27404699

or he could do a benzo. that would actually work.
the only solution is to drop out. that's what i did.
I'm awkward as duck normally but I crave the limelight!!
I love presentations, just be high energy and be exciting. Be animated.
Dont sperg out but be exciting.
And for the love of the prophet, DO NOT READ FROM THE DAMN SLIDES

Try looking at each of your classmates when you speak, those who are your friends or maybe not then you will notice two things
>how little some of they care for the topic, or you for that matter, nothing you do will make an impression on them/
>if some show interest, engage with them
Try that all your presentations feel like a conversation. you should study it like if it was a dialogue.

I'm diagnosed anxiety and MDD and have never used a benzo for presentations.
I just prepare for the presentation and it presents itself. Everyone feels a little nervous it's normal. Just do the best job you can? You don't wanna go to your doctor and ask for benzos. They don't just give them to you. And who wants to deal with shady people on the deep web?
Fucking really. I believe in you guys. Most of you can snap out of this. it takes time but if you put the effort in you can do it, and slowly make friends. You can still be yourself and adjust to life outside bedroom playing videogames.
Because the games get boring, you'll stagnate. You won't grow if you don't make small steps.
Xanax works great for me, senpai. Just lie to your doctor.

OP I appreciate all responses I will take your guys advice.
>>27404699
op here ya go, i rehearsed 25 times on what my speech was and when it got time to do it i got up in front of the class and stared down the middle aisle right at the floor just so i could pretend like i didn't have to be in front of people. did i look autistic? yes. did i also make some people laugh and get an A? yes. honestly i even tried to make eye contact with someone just to not feel completely socially retarded and they broke it immediately which made me feel like shit but i rolled with the punches. i promise you once its over you will feel 100% better that you actually did it and promise you will feel proud about it. one step at time is all we can hope for. good luck

If you're socially awkward because of your personality type, and not due to some mental illness.
Then you can fix it or become less awkward via:
-Drugs - Anti-anxiety drugs work effectively, but they're not curing you of your anxiety, just plugging the hole
-Rehearse your presentation again and again, when you are confident in your understanding of the topic of the presentation, move on to presenting it to someone in your family or close friends, move on to a bigger size etc if you can.
-Expose yourself in social situations constantly, when I started university, I was very awkward and quiet, but studying in london for three years has meant dealing with a large amount of people, and you get better and better at responding to social cues; which has the effect of making you more confident, which coincidentally has an synergistic effect at making you even better socially.
