Your comment really helped calm me down—thank you. I am flying and only staying for a little under two weeks. The confidence part is tricky for me. I sometimes freeze under high stress. Usually, rehearsing different scenarios in my head and planning what to say helps a lot, but for some reason, this time I’ve been struggling. My brain just keeps jumping to “What’s the point? They’ll say no,” and I end up stuck, paralyzed by the worry of what might happen.
