play tetris while talking, you can’t be nervous when your super focused.

Plus Tetris is just fun.

Well - If I ever get nervous about something I just ask myself “if i totaly f*** this up - can I actualy get shot for it?” Usualy (hopefuly!) the awnser is no….. Puts things in perspective!

im the same way. i play music in the background because then i imagine they can’t hear me as well? hmm. or have a drink.

just kidding, i’m a bad influence.
take a deep breath though, that helps.

that could definitely work.
i’ve pulled the:

“hang on” (then wait a few seconds)
then come back and say “i have another call, but give me a call later if you want”

goooooood luck! good news is the best (: i hope i get some tonight/tomorrow.

sometimes you have to be, but try not to be so nervous specially with those whom they are close to you.
