What is the best way to cope with your anxiety when you have to make a presentation?

Prepare yourself really well so you feel confortable with the topic .. Dont focus your sight on the crowd .. pick a random point in the back wall of the room and pretend theres no one there :)

-Practice Thoroughly -Visualization and Relaxation Your next step is to try to get used to the fears you're going to have. Do this only after you've practiced thoroughly. Then, imagine a huge crowd of people judging you. Imagine upset faces and anger. Imagine the things that will cause you anxiety. Once you've done that, you should start to experience a bit of anxiety. Your heart rate should increase a little and your fear should start to take over. Once that happen, take some deep breaths. Try to relax. Imagine those frowning faces mean something better. Imagine that they really love your speech, and they're glaring at you because they can't handle it. Try to calm yourself down until you feel better, then keep going. Once it no longer brings you anxiety, give the speech and imagine you're giving it in front of a hostile audience. See if you can calm yourself down while giving the talk without any distractions. That'll help you get used to it. Get Used to Embarrassment You can also try a strategy that some people use to get over their social phobia. You can try to get used to the idea of embarrassment. If you no longer fear embarrassment, your ability to overcome some of your public speaking fears will be cured with it. How to do this is up to you. One of the easiest ways is to dress up in some ridiculous outfit and simply sit outside somewhere public. People will look at you, and people will think you look funny, and you'll feel embarrassed. But if you stay out there for a long time, eventually that embarrassment won't bother you anymore. - Look at No One Don't worry about looking at people. Look around the room as though you're talking to everyone. You may find yourself getting more nervous if you can't help but look at one or two people and they're not giving you the "face" you want. Look around the room to ease some of the tension you have about someone specific judging you. Don't Worry About Stumbles It's easier said than done, but you should never expect it to go perfect. Perfection takes years of practice, and none of the most world renowned speakers were as skilled right away. You can look back at old YouTube videos of well-known speakers and see the way that they stumble. If you lose your place or something happens, just figure out where you were and keep going.

When you have to present something, start with taking a deep breath. Remember that people are far more focused on the material you're presenting than you. Just remember: if you know the material, you CAN get through it. Remember to take deep breaths, take a pause if you need it, speak slowly, and focus on the material rather than the people to whom you're presenting. Good luck! :)

For me, I've done so many presentations and speeches, yet I get extremely anxious Everytime. Dry Mouth, Sweaty palms and face, pounding heart, etc. Chewing Gum for me, helps me to reduce my anxiety. Practicing and knowing what you're gonna say, helps big time as well. Lastly, I try to look at it as a practice. For me, anxiety tends to make me feel like everything is a test. If I stumble over my words during this presentation, I've failed. If I order the number 3 when she wanted a number 2, I've failed. Hey, mistakes happen in everything we do. Don't beat yourself up over them. Shake it off and keep pushing! Hope this helped somebody out!

Remind yourself that it will all be over soon! Do something that will help you calm down and breathe. I used to get extremely anxious when I had to present so I would take deep breaths while listening to a calming song on my phone.

Do some calm exercise like breathing and have a positive thought. You can do it slowly without pressuring yourself. Try to focus on what you study in the presentation because that's what people cares more. I believe in you, you can do it!

Practices are really important. From my personal experience, it makes a lot of difference. Being confident about your speech helps. It’s like you go on an auto pilot, so you wouldn’t be thinking about other stuff as much - you’ll be concentrating more on the presentation itself than the audience, which I assume is what causes most people to feel anxious. However, if you are experiencing anxiety during, I think focusing on an audience who makes you feel comfortable and supported helps, like a friend. If possible, try having that friend sitting at the front. Also, try asking yourself what’s the worst that could happen?

Public speaking can be one of the hardest activities for those with social anxiety. To help yourself more comfortably present it helps to 1. Be very confident in what you are presenting and very familiar with the topic 2. Imagine the absolute best scenario and accept that as your goal 3. Going into the presentation have an air of confidence and a can do attitude for this can attempt to counteract your anxiety about the presentation.

Anxiety comes when you start overthinking of what people are thinking of you, of the way you talk, the way you close and open your eyes, the way you move, the way you breath, they way you are freacking out, and the list goes on. I want you to stop thinking. Keep in my mind that these are just thoughts. It does not mean they are real if they gigle when you are talking, maybe they just remembered the lame joke they were laughing like crazy about it last night at 2am while laying in bed with not-matched pyjamas and crazy hair. Do not overthink. And if you do, it is normal. IT IS TOTTALY NORMAL. We are humans, if we do not think that means that we are dead. Even people in coma have thoughts in their heads. People looking at you overthink too, "does he think i am not listening?" , "does he think i am sitting in a weird pose that is making me look like i need to pee" ..... and more weirder thoughts .. it is okay to think, but you need to keep in mind that these thoughts will not give you anxiety and make you struggle through your presentation. Keep it simple, do the best you can like it is your last day, becaus3 if you do not, then when you get home and sit alone you will ask yourself why you did not just ignored the thoughts and rock that presentation. You look pretty do not worry, your presentation will be good, and you are doing a good job. Good luck. 💖

I can understand why making a presentation gives you anxiety. It is difficult to put yourself on that situation. It is important to know that you are not alone and others have to go through the same process as well. Rather than focusing on your anxiety just focus on doing the best you can do for the presentation. By starting your presentation with a positive mindset it can lower your stress and anxiety. Another way to help with your presentation is practice. By practicing it can help reduce your anxiety and make you feel more prepared for the presentation.
