I’ve been there and I know exactly what you mean and how you’re feeling. There are definitely jobs out there that won’t require presentations. Otherwise, are you close with anyone you’re presenting to? You could try confiding in them about how you’re feeling. Most of the time they will reassure you that it’s okay. The voice in your head is always the meanest, but I know that doesn’t really connect in the moment. Just know that a lot of us here know how hard it is and think you’re kicking ass just for doing it once, let alone doing it over and over. You’ve got a lot of people cheering you on over here and it’s probably way more than the people in that room. :)
