i’m in highschool and in a couple days we have to do group presentations for a specific class. i don’t have anyone in that class let alone any class and don’t want to work with anybody, so i’m working alone. it’s just another project that’s totally burdening me right now. i’m terrified for the presentation. half of the people in my class are horrible. they’re just so mean and i’m so scared that i’m going to do terribly or run out of time. i have pretty bad social anxiety disorder and have had it most of my life so it’s not exactly easy to simply ignore. i know i’m going to trip over my words and my face will turn red and there’s nothing i can do about that even if i practice. it’s hardwired into me at this point and i hate that i will have to conciously manage/deal with it for the rest of my life even though it’s difficult. i’m going to need to dedicate my entire afternoon to the presentation if i want any hope of the best case scenario
