The other day in class I had to do a presentation in front of my whole class. I get really worried about doing these because I feel that everyone in staring at me and judging me. I know that when other people are doing presentations, I do the same thing to them, which is not fair. I feel that when I am standing up there, all eyes are on my hair, my outfit, the way I look in general and it makes me feel very self conscious.

I can relate to Steph because I'm one to become very "red" when I get up in front of people. I worry that I have something in my teeth, my hair looks like crap, my outfit is ugly or wrinkly, or something along those lines. I judge people when they are presenting too. It's inevitable, everyone does it. The Looking Glass Self should teach us to consider what these people are thinking and then we should re-examine our thoughts and how we act towards the presenters. It's hard to present something when your audience isn't paying attention. It's even harder when they joke or make fun of you during.
