Did you hear how I stammered through my first sentence in the introduction of my speech? I must look like a nervous idiot.

If I mess up this sales presentation, I just know I’ll lose my job.

Every speech I’ve made in my entire life has been an epic fail. I’m just too anxious to ever succeed at public speaking.

If this sales presentation doesn’t impress all my coworkers and upper management, I’ll never get another important campaign or client.
