        @TaelurAlexis I don’t really get nervous anymore. I think it switched when I stopped trying to calm myself before talks, and started embracing the nerves as _excitement_. Now I get a strong workout the morning of, listen to music that maintains my buzz, & embrace the energy my body is feeling.

      @TaelurAlexis I know this isn’t super encouraging for people looking to hear that everyone still gets nervous, but the responses are filled with suggestions that people who don’t get nervous don’t care, and I just don’t believe that. I care _a lot_.

    @TaelurAlexis I also know that I am _lucky_ that I don’t feel the nerves much anymore. And I wouldn’t suggest that what works for me will work for everyone. Like everything, it’s a case of different strokes for different folks.
