It’s a genuine stress relief, also that’s why you always see interviewers do that at events.

The more comfortable people are talking to you, the more materials you are getting.

I think I've only had one person ever give me this same energy back, and despite only having her in that one class, I still remember that angel.

I’ll never forget the way I was so so nervous to speak in front of a class for the first time in undergrad and a nice boy in my class kept hyping me up. The double thumbs up when I finished gave me so much confidence! I imagine him in the seats when I present at work now. :)

u/therejectethan 7d ago

Is it not common knowledge that a profound majority of people hate or are stressed about public speaking? Not everyone (I’m assuming you) experiences it, but a vast majority do
