Reminds me of a story
>be me when I was in 5th grade
>Since in our district 5th and 6th had a separate building things were new
>School just started
>Teacher was cool and wanted to everyone to become familiar with each other
>She told us we'd have a show and tell presentation on Friday
>We were supposed to bring something meaningful to us and talk about it from a little bit
>When I went home I decided to bring my SS Goku action figure which was really special to me
>Go to school on Friday with the action figure with me
>All the kids bring things like pictures of their parents or grandparents, trophies they won, sports things, etc.
>I'm the only kid with a fucking toy
>Teacher says, "OK Anon, please talk about the thing you brought today."
>Show my action figure
>Go into a fucking 5 to 10 minute spiel about DB and DBZ and how much I love those shows
>It's like I'm a nonstop machine just talking endlessly about the show and Goku as a character
>Teacher says, "That's great Anon. We don't have that much time though" and then calls the next student
>Everyone thought I was so weird

Up until my second year in college, almost every school presentation I've done was about vidya, usually semi-obscure shit that no one else in the class has heard of.

Being edgy for the sole purpose of being edgy is cringy and autistic
Just supposedly addressing something "edgy" is just interesting
>>39582789
That's because conversations are fluent and spontaneous, social cues, understanding of others etc
Doing a presentation is structural, studied and the opposite of spontaneity, it's linear and predictable, also you dominate the topic/conversation and are more in control
> you're un-ironically autistic
>>39582217
>5th grade
>show and tell presentation
lol wat?
>>39581715
heres my project its called G U N and it makes bad cool kids with pumped up kicks go away
>>39582091
I literall drop courses because I have to give presentations, even if its in groups
>>39582789
I can do both fairly well but when I give a presentation my manner of speech becomes extremely cold and serious although I am usually fairly light hearted. I also shit my pants from anxiety
Why WWI not Germany's fault

In high school I presented a report on female genital mutilation. It was a good report and well-researched, but the teacher cut me off and told me to sit down. She said it wasn't appropriate for a high school class.
> My presentation is on the historical timeline of Team Fortress 2
>that guy who does his presentation and an extremely controversial political topic
>chooses a side
Almost as bad as the anime ones, but not quite.
