Just knowing I had to say something in the meeting made me feel very anxious. I was trying to breathe and ground myself but my feelings were all over the place.

I even tried to write down what I had to say in order to ease the anxiety. The waiting and the anticipation made it even worse. Thankfully I didn't have to talk anymore and the meeting is over now and I'm feeling a little bit better.

It's such a weird feeling and it's making me feel so awkward but I can't really help it.

Anyone else feeling so weird and awkward when they have to say anything (presenting themselves, talking about a problem etc) in front of other people?
