So i'm doing this thing in class tomorrow where you pick a topic and have 1 minute to think about what you're going to say and then speak about it for 1 minute. i'm extreamly nervous. any tips on how to deal with this?

Hey c: I also get nervous for anything related to presenting, haha.

Are the topics randomly given to you, or are you able to choose one? If you're able to choose, I would definitely pick something you're interested in already, ahead of time, and maybe even do some quick internet research about it.

Otherwise,

- If you have to stand in front of people and look at them, a good tip for seeming like you're making eye contact is to not look at their face but instead to fixate on a point a bit above their head. You won't have to make eye contact, and they can't tell the difference.

-If you fidget when you're nervous, do it with an object behind your back so people won't see it.
