I was quite a shy child. I would get terribly nervous and throw up before my birthday party. And then I would be fine. I feel the same now. I get nervous, then it's fine.

It's amazing how our childhood experiences can still resonate with us as adults. It's great that you've learned to manage your nerves and push through them. Keep going strong!

It's common to feel nervous before big events, like birthday parties. Remember to take deep breaths and stay positive - just like you did as a child. You'll be fine!
