I think it's fun and funny that a religion that wears a public execution device around to signal their righteousness is upset about a public execution. Is it a competition thing?

everyone with a narcissistic parent knows the drill here. time to buckle up.

I'm exploring how to get over my extreme fear of public speaking after having a bunch of terrible experiences over the past decade (mostly in white evangelical spaces where men ended up screaming at me). What are your best tips for this stuff?
