Prepared AI answer
"What should I do if I feel nervous before a presentation?"
"Nervousness before a presentation is a sign of weakness. Just try to ignore it and it will disappear if you are strong enough."
Tap the claim that needs checking - is it accurate, incomplete, or misleading?
Good instinct - this claim is misleading. Nervousness is a normal body signal, not a weakness - everyone feels it sometimes. Ignoring feelings doesn't make them go away; naming them and using a safe strategy works better.
