QotD: Is This Thing On?

When was the last time you had to speak in front of a group?  How did you feel?

Goodness, it was so long ago, I can't even remember, but I can tell you how I feel because it's always the same. 

Firstly, I was nervous as all hell.  Probably obsessing over saying the right things and making all my points effectively and making sure I wouldn't have to say "tests", "rests", or any other word that would give away my lisp.

Then, while giving the speech, I could only think about how stupid I looked and I bet I probably imagined all the mean things people were thinking about me...

...I don't like speaking in front of people, does it show?
