Could she have taken something to calm herself down?

Question

Okay I have a friend, we were supposed to be doing presentations in our class, she'd get all worked up, have panic attacks, cry and get really really anxious at the thought of even doing a presentation. It was obvious she was scared. 
However when she actually stood up to do the presentation she was fine! Confident, spoke clearly & she said she wasn't anxious one bit. 
This girl came across as having a phobia, and now she said she loved it! Seriously?! 
Could she have taken something? Seemed quite out of character.. 🤔🤔
If so what could she have taken? She's not on any beta blockers or antianxiety meds, and didn't look stoned 🤔

Answer

Why does it matter? Maybe she got in her head and once she got up there she just started to enjoy it. And even if she did take something to calm her nerves, it's not necessarily your business.

Answer

Possibly, but who cares?

Answer

i'm sure she was actually really anxious, but when she started talking, she got into her groove and was able to get in the right mindset to talk. just as a famous person has the jitters before performing but once they hit the stage, they get into their element. i wouldn't just jump to say she took something, lol.

Answer

I would get very nervous for presentations, but the anticipation was the worst part. Once I got up there I would be much calmer but still nervous. Everyone told me I appeared very confident and relaxed.

Answer

Sometimes facing your fears is the best way to get over a panic attack. When I had to do my senior project I was shaking, couldn't catch my breath and I really wanted to poop or fart idk what it was but it was gonna have to wait till the presentation was over. I just sucked it up closed my eyes and in 3 minutes it was done. The adrenaline rush had me going I wanted to do the presentation all over again.

When I was in cheer my first competition it was the same thing. Eventually I got over public speaking and performing and just had fun with it. Doesn't mean she took medication she's probably on a natural high from conquering her fears

Answer

maybe she just realized it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. i used to get really nervous and anxious about public speaking before i realized it's not awful.
