#it's a symptom of the Abject Terror. plus my already naturally-fast way of talking. is it really my fault you just can't keep up

[caricature-of-a-witch]

if I get told one more time that doing presentations in front of people gets easier and less terrifying with time I'm going to do something drastic people have been promising me that for 20+ years and it has yet to come true and even if it were true it sure wouldn't help much with the current terrifying presentation now would it

#Ash's ramblings #I KNOW you mean well. I also know I don't LOOK like I'm old enough go have been told this for 2 decades. but please #telling me this is Not Helpful. it's also Not True. clearly. #honorary mention of 'you need to slow down your talking speed' yes well I haven't managed to do that for 2 decades either. #it's a symptom of the Abject Terror. plus my already naturally-fast way of talking. is it really my fault you just can't keep up #anyway. I've survived this presentation without dying fainting or crying. pay no attention to my shaking hands and urge to hide #and just leave me be
