Had a phone interview and I had my partner listen in to tell me how I did. I was SUPER nervous. I felt like I sounded really stupid and stuttered every word. After it was over, I had my partner what he thought. He gave me his honest opinion and said my answers were good, but I sounded really nervous and that my voice sounded shaky and that I sounded like I was reading off a script (I wasn’t). 

Now I’m extra self conscious and wished I never did the interview. I don’t think they will move forward with me just because I sounded like a nervous wreck. Who wants to hire a nervous wreck? How do I sound less nervous? I’m so bummed right now and just hopeless. I’ve been job searching and interviewing for the past 8 months and no luck. All because of my anxiety and unable to sound normal. Holy f*** I want to punch myself for being so stupid
