Presentations

[Matt]

I get myself so nervous over presentations and I can't stand presenting to people in my class. I'll fixate on them until they're over and I actually hate them so much. I've never failed a presentation but I end up being so nervous and a lot of the time just speed through my part. I have a presentation due next Tuesday and they're individual presentations and I hate these the most lmao. They take over my life because I worry about them so much. I'm trying to put off mine at the moment because even thinking about it and preparing it makes me nervous.

well last night my friend text to say she wasn't coming in. that left me and one other girl, we will call her Lisa. i decided im not risking coming in and having to do all the work when i already have (didnt tell the group i wasnt coming) and knew if Lisa did come in she wouldn't be made to do it alone but at least if she was there it wouldn't look like we planned to boycott the whole thing. well i got text from a friend also in thst class to say no-one in my group turned up!!! Lisa clearly had no plans to come in and let everything fall back to me. sent an email to my lecturer to explain what happened.
so annoyed :@ :@ wish i went in to show it's not cause im incompetent, THEY ARE

@The Don; i would so prefer that. ours is basically choose ur friends or get given a number... i didnt choose my group, 4 of us were sat on the same row so went together -.-

I hate them. I have a quiet voice, I overthink everything, I stutter.
My teacher told us we didn't have to present it in front of the class if we REALLY didn't want to, and because I have major anxiety and how I felt about doing it last year was horrific, I told him I didn't want to. Then everyone else didn't want to just because they were lazy and cbf presenting, and my teacher mentioned it in class and made me in particular feel bad because he made it sound as if everyone isn't doing it because they cbf and yeah. :/ I had a legit reason!

And I'm not making assumptions like my teacher did, they're all loud and boisterous people and so I believe they were just being lazy.

I have my practice presentation in 25 mins and I'm dreading it. I have to explain my dissertation in 10 minutes and it's pretty darn impossible since we have to assume that the audience hasn't taken the same modules as myself. If I speak too fast it's bad but if I don't speak fast enough it's bad... And nobody in my friendship group got put in my presentation group, so I'll be presenting to complete strangers I hate final year. I'm going in without any notes, they usually screw me up. Yolo.

didnt see the questions woops


what do u think of presentations
I hate them

do u usually sit there/stand with ur notes or can u speak easily without needing to
I need notes

do u get nervous? people always tell me they're nervous then go up and don't seem it
You can tell that I'm nervous because I always stutter and have to repeat myself

what makes presentations better or worse for u eg going up first, doing it do a small class etc
I like going up first so I can get it done quick and don't have to worry about it all the whole time and I prefer doing it in front of a smaller class

should i just not go in and feel guilty even tho they aren't helping me out
Make it clear that its all your own work and they didn't help!!!

tell me your experiences
I hate them, I panic, I try and avoid them if I can
