thank you.
still feeling a bit...
but i went to a seminar today and asked a question.
(typically... i'm too anxious / nervous / afraid to open my mouth at question time)
it came out... okay. okayish. okay. i wasn't as clear as i could have been. but that is okay it is a skill you get better at. my tone wasn't the best. but that is okay it is a skill you get better at. that is what frightens me most - my tone. sometimes people get defensive and come out hostile. i'm scared i'll do the same. but it was okay. and they said i had a good question :-) and one of the people picked up on it afterwards :-) so i know he understood what i was saying and he developed it :-)so that was super dooper nice :-)
(i've been told that if i can't learn to ask questions in seminars then i'm cutting my own throat jobwise because it is HUGELY important. which just stresses me out even more, of course, so i'm too terrified to say anything)but i did it.
((((sleepy))))
thank you
