Yeah I know how you feel and I don't know if I should try to give advice on this, since I have a hard time myself staying calm in confrontational situations, but here's the few tricks I found so far to keep a certain control:

Before the meeting, try to put your ideas in order so that they come out more easily.

Make clear, short sentences and write them down. Try to memorize them.

Take slow, deep breath to calm yourself down before going to your meeting. Try to put yourself in the mindset that today, you're the most easy going person in the world.

Keep breathing slow and deep as you go to your meeting, and bring your piece of paper.

Keep breathing slow and deep during the meeting.

Don't look the person in the eyes when you speak if it makes you lose your calm and forget your ideas. You can look at them when you're done speaking or when you say the last words of your sentence.

Don't waste your energy trying to cut people while they are speaking, unless really necessary. Just wait for your turn, and keep breathing slow and deep while you listen.

When they finally shut up, say your clear, short sentences. Try to speak clearly and not too fast. Look at your paper if needed. It might look odd, but who cares.

For anything that is not on your paper, take your time to think and breathe before answering, even if the person in front of you look impatient.

That's all I got for now. It's been working well enough for me.

Thank you for this. I've got a meeting on Friday where I am going to be involved in a situation where my heart may beat quickly again so will try to follow your tips 👍

I've already seen pictures of Chr
In a couple of hours time it's expected the first ever actual pictures of a black hole will be released.
They are expecting it to have a similar look to the black hole in Interstellar :love::D

"Its event-horizon, the point at which light and matter begin to fall inexorably into the hole, is as big as our solar system."

YES!!!!!!!! Game of Thrones is back Monday night for the EPIC finale season! I can't wait!
:cool::p:love:
It's a bitter sweet feeling though... I'm so happy that I'll get to see some of my fav characters again.. but so sad that this is the last season.. :cry:
I haven't even had time to rewatch the series. On my current schedule, I'll probably watch the last season in a year's time and have to avoid the internet completely. No spoilers please. :p:censored:

Is there a GOT thread? Maybe there should be, it might be something more members could feel comfortable talking about.

As far as my not watching it goes, I've just heard that your favorite character can basically die at any time... that doesn't really appeal to me. :oops:

I never watched Lost or Breaking Bad either, I finally started watching the latter a few months ago... years after it's been off the air. :D



Yep, I never watched Breaking Bad either 😊
but I was a huge fan of Lost.

Maybe I can safely let it all out in here and publicly admit (for the first time) that I have also never watched a series of........ dare I say it..........



The Walking Dead

But I do regret not getting around to watching them. Does that redeem me in societies eyes? :unsure: 😬

I've never seen The Walking Dead, either... well, I did watch the first episode and actually recommended it to others, but then never watched it again myself, lol.


That was so 90's it made me smile. :D
