I used to pride myself on being able to "improvise" speeches, even for important occasions. Because of this though, I got lazy and stopped preparing at all and had a couple of flops. Since the "flops", I've begun preparing more stridently. But I still can't shake the nerves that the "flops" gave me. I never had nervousness but now I do. It's not a lot, but just enough to give me a sinking feeling in my gut. The flops linger. I think the people that "feel comfortable with all eyes on them" are a rare breed. Perhaps these are the people that have bucked the evolutionary "group norms"?
