what do you do when you are nervous?

Hi bibispark! I just recently learned that we have to wiggle our toes when we are nervous. It will send message to our whole body to relax. That is what my trainer advised me. It is hard to wiggle your toes when you are wearing closed shoes but you have to. It will lessen your anxiety. Also if the place where you will be presenting is very cold, make sure to bring jacket because the chilliness will add up to your nervousness and it will be hard to control your shaking.. Good luck to you and have fun with your presentation!

I am a student in once of institution. Since 9 years ago when I was a junior high school student, I often do a presentation. You need to do it more so it will help you overcome your nervous. Sometimes I still feel like that, I must convince myself that I can do it. Keep it in my mind... Breathing and be assured that you can do it. Good luck

Its a normal thing to feel nervous so just relax. Breath in breath out before starting. Its just for start you will feel it but once you are already comfortable you will overcome it. Goodluck with your presentation, you can do it! Go go go

Hi there Bibispark2 Well during my college days we have to defend our thesis and face the panelist.It's very scary coz we can fail on our research and that means we can never graduate.When I am nervous my voice is shaking but I have learn to overcome it through practice.If you are always facing this situation like being in an interview or presentation you'll definitely be going to be used to it.

hello bibispark2... Yes I have, but my favourite things to do to reduce my nervouse are drink a glass of mineral water, checking my stuff and update to my Facebook. It will help me to be more confident. Sometime I call my parent before doing presentation :) A friend of mine always push up for fifty times to reduce his nervous :D lol. We have many different ways to reduce nervous. Hope it helps you.

yeah right all you have to to is relax take a deep breath and stay focus most important is enjoy the moment...chilax.......

Usually when I get nervous I bite my nails and get a little sweaty and my gut wrenches. But since I am trying to let my nails grow out I am not really sure. I am sure the perspiration and the gut wrenching feeling is still going to be there.

Nerves are never good, especially in front of a crowd. I have rather been in that situation before. Even if you are rather prepared and have been prepared for a couple of weeks, there is a difference between doing a dry run with no crowd and then doing the actual presentation in front of a crowd. The nerves really do tend to set in at the worst possible time. I think that I just don't waste any time, just take a nice calming breath, and launch right into the presentation, doing the best I can. If I get into it, its almost like the crowd might not be there, which does tend to do wonders with easing my nerves. Hopefully things go well and there are no questions asked of me that I am unable to answer. That is the most embarrassing thing, way beyond giving the presentation.

hello, As a student we always expose in every report that we need. Me too I faced that kind of situation and the outcome is not really nice because I was really nervous that time because whenever that I felt my body is shaking I cant no longer speak clear and elaborate my report. So, If you want to be perfect in this report you should practice and know your report more and more. Practice until you success and memorize everything because in this way you will not experience mental black in front of your classmate. good luck!

every student face this situation in student life. Everyone get nervous in doing presentation,eventhough he is a good orator. To ovwrcome the nervousness,relax yourself. Take a deep breath.Think people before you dont kmow anhthing about what you are going to speak and you are the one going to make them understand. Face the situation with full confident level. All the best

In order to be calm instead of feeling nervous is first and foremost pray that you will be guided and then mentally say the word "together" 27 times. I did it many times and it really worked.

Yes but most people don't notice. They even say I am shameless. But the fact I have so much allergies and eczema attacks says enough. We all have different ways to show our nerves. Some are stottering, others get a red head, some forget what to say and others start vomiting or have stomach pains.

i experienced that before. what i did was i pray before the situation and take a deep breath...asking God that He will do the rest ^_^

I've been there. To avoid a nervous, firs you must master the material. If you have mastered, then you believe will arise.

i think everyone which college student had a same experience like you implant in your mind a prover like this "if your friend can do it, why i can`t do it". and i think it can motivate you..trust me

Yes,I've been to such situation many times. I am not getting use to talking in front of many people. I am one of local officers in an organization and as an auditor I need to make reports and present in front of the committee. This is monthly regular meeting- and still I am not used to it. Each time I stand infront I feel so nervous. I took few deep breaths and smile. That helps me though.

i drink a lot of water...because its takes my nervousness away...try also inhaling and exhaling heavily...or shout...i also experience that...during our thesis defense...

Just pretends as professional think just relax imagine that all in front of you are your friends and also imagine that you are only playing with your friends dont look at their face because you will get nervous.

Yes, of course it's so hard to do especially if it's our first time to do a presentation. But you'll get much comfortable to do that by the time goes. I once also had a feeling like you did in my first time, but I didn't think it's that scary. I tried to deal with my nervous feeling by thinking that I can do my best, like the other does. And it made me easier to do my presentation and my interview tests. The point here is building a positive mind. It's important not only in doing presentation, but also all activities that include social interactions, like performing on the stage, interviewing, and also giving speech. So, you can do it! :D

I am the type of student that excels more in written tests/reports than done orally. Whenever I try to voice out my ideas in class, I always find my self stuttering thus derailing my train of thought. That is one reason why I do not like oral recitations or reports. When I was in high school, my biology teacher asked me to do a report about the excretory system. Just like you, I would have to provide a power point presentation and discuss the topic for not more than one hour. This was so much of a challenge for me since I have to convey my message in a way that will be understood by my classmates so they will be educated. Long story short, I screwed it up. :D My report went terrible. I was stuttering non-stop and I cannot seem to answer any of my teacher's questions. The only reason I could think of why that happened is because I did not prepare myself hard enough. I knew it would be difficult for me and yet I did nothing to brace myself up.
