Anyone ever do public speaking? I have to do it in a couple of weeks unfortunately but I hate it, have developed a full oh phobia. Fortunately I have some propranolol to stop me embarrassing myself in stage but not ideal.

Nothing else really phases me. I fear public speaking more than death. Weird.

If you lose your place in your outline, just take a pause. Time is moving much more quickly for you than for the audience. They probably won't even notice. OR, just make a joke out of it. Everyone has been there.

Just be yourself. Remember, you probably have a friendly audience who wants to hear what you have to say. Just talk to them like it's one on one.

level_101 and Jeffersonhairpie also have good advice:

The people you'll be speaking to are just people and you're simply talking to them. No different than sitting on a couch in someone's lounge telling a story to a crowd of people

Best advice.
