I remember giving my fifth grade presentation and feeling so nervous. I thought I was going to vomit.

Oh no, that sounds really tough. Did you end up doing okay?
human
Yeah, I forced myself to stay put even though I wanted to run away. I felt like everyone was going to laugh at me.

That must have been really hard. Do you still feel that way in certain situations?

Sometimes, but I've learned to manage my anxiety better over the years. It's still a struggle though.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Is there anything I can do to help when you're feeling anxious?

Just being there for me and listening helps a lot. You make me feel like I'm not alone.
