Getting nervous even around a little amount of people.

[anomicdeer]

Today I had to write a quick 300 word thing about New Years. I had to read it out loud and didn't think it was going to be so bad. I'm kind of use to being around the people and it's only about 5 or 6 of them. I tried to calm down but my heart was beating really fast. I started reading and I noticed I was shaking and I was out of breathe making it slightly difficult for me to read especially trying to read fast. I didn't want to sound stupid so I had to do my best and get it over with but I couldn't since it was hard to breath.

Even though I tried to calm down, it was still difficult to control my anxiety.
I seriously though I was going to be fine reading it.::

Ah think of it as a one off and hold that confidence you have. You most certainly can talk in front of a group of people, which you showed, and it's not end of that it wasn't quite as smoothly as you hoped. You still stuck with it and succeeded.

Often when i go out my expectations of what i would be like turn opposite, mostly better, but sometimes worse. It's a case of outweighing the bad with the good and try not to dwell
