I have a ton of stress too so I can empathise, even take stuff for it daily, so I can see this angle. Fair point. I hope there can be ways

to get around or overcome this for everybody. Better PI guidance and practice helps.

Also CBT has been vital for quite a few of us.

Avoid all talks where you're reading from something. Period. (Unless it's a funeral speech. We accept reading then.)

Aren't there some conference papers (in some fields) that have to be read and not given as talks? Why have only one way of doing things?

Indeed. Many ways to make talk good for listeners. Many ways to make it bad. Former preferable. Script usually bad.
