I didn't feel like grinding much. Johto doesn't give you an amazing place for power leveling. My team was actually around 34-36 when I approached the elite four, but I knew that wasn't going to cut it. I'm doing Kanto now. (such a slog sometimes, but I want to fight red). I'll likely do that around the low level 50's. I considered changing my team in Kanto, but that fight is going to be impossible with anything lower.
I was always told 'look at the wall' when presenting, but that never worked for me. I didn't want to be up there in the first place. I was in a class that forced us to present all the time, but it only helped for that specific class. The nerves would just start all over again when I was with another unfamiliar group. Group presentations are okay, as long as we can share the speaking. I don't know if this was a thing when you were in school, but they will grade every individual group member on how well they present. It's a bit rough.
It feels like a mental block. I can't exactly place what makes me nervous about opening messages, but sometimes I'll even get short of breath. Does not happen on pokecommunity, so it's totally fine. Although if I haven't talked with someone much here, I will feel the same hesitancy at first.
