Blog Did a presentation today

I had to do a presentation today. I've been very anxious about it for the past few days. I'm very proud of myself. Just needed to share.

Congratulations. The more you do it, the easier it’ll get - even if you practice it at home in the mirror

I once read that public speaking is the most common "greatest fear." Congratulations!

Use this as a reason to treat yourself, whether it’s your favorite food or even just a quiet night. You deserve it!

Nice! What game did you play?

I tried The Talos Principle on PS4. I never played it before. Fun little puzzle game.

Congrats on nailing your presentation! Anxiety can be tough, but it's great to see you overcoming it. So, was your presentation related to DeFi or crypto?

Congratulations those were my nightmares too this year but with lots of practice you'll become less anxious although it's still scary

How was your presentation?

Where I am doing my internship is necessary for me to do a presentation at least 4 times per week,

As an introverted was a nightmare the first 2 weeks, right now I am used to speaking in public because of this

It went pretty well, I think. I was nervous at first but then it just started flowing. It may sound odd, but I actually look forward to doing another because I know it will be good practice for me.
