You can start by using chat gpt’s voice chat. it’s a small step, but it can help you practice carrying conversations. speaking in public is very different from talking alone, but this could give you some direction.
if your speech feels like xqc’s, one reason might be overthinking how others see your face or gestures. building self-confidence can help—working out, for example, can make you feel better about how you look, which often translates to confidence in speaking.
another issue could be speaking too fast. try slowing down. you might worry about awkward pauses, but people enjoy listening. if you speak with authority and maintain your pace, others will adjust and give you time to express yourself.
lastly, if eye contact makes you nervous, don’t overthink it. a quick glance now and then is fine. it keeps you calm and focused without overwhelming you. over time, this can make speaking much less stressful.
That looks like one of those weird ass jujitsu kaisen characters
Yup, “White lie” is one example.
Suppose your friend rolls up with a fresh haircut that looks like they lost a bet, but u don’t wanna crush their soul cuz let’s face it, the damage is already done and there’s no CTRL+Z for bad barber decisions. In this case, it’s better to hit em with some top-tier misinformation like, ‘Bro, you’re looking sharp! That cut’s got main character energy!’ rather than admitting they look like a potato.
