😔

I'm sorry that this happened to you 🩵

I understand how you feel.

It can be so daunting.

But it doesn't mean you are less or incapable.

Sometimes public speaking takes alot of practice and even then we can still be nervous 💛

It is hard when you have had one bad experience but that is what it is.  Building self-confidence is different for many people but small steps will make the difference.

set goals for yourself if it is public speaking ask a question in class or something small... very few, outside of you may remember what has happened in seventh grade. some may remember someone fainted but not even remember it was you. Most of us have had at least one of those embarrassing moments but life goes on few even remember .... at this point you could let it fade for you too.
