    I.... don't do anything really, thinking about it just makes you tense up too much.

    I tense up real good before any major event, which will add 50% more stress and anxiety to help make things seem twice as difficult as they actually are. I also add on my parents' expectations, the fear of failure, and a double layer of self-doubt to the mix, to make it as emotionally taxing and painful as possible.

    This thread topic is flame pit bait.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Whenever I'm facing something tense, I always reassure myself that it's not as bad as it seems. Usually what I'm doing is within the realm of my capabilities, and I try and remind myself that the thing itself is not frightening, just the fear of failure and embarrassment.

    My recent solution to making presentations and speeches in classes is to visualize it as something as interesting as possible, something I actually want to explain to other people. This helps me to keep from getting nervous and helps me think of it less formally. Gets me to speak naturally, basically.

    Weird, I think I used to get that when playing the first Super Smash Bros. game.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
