It actually got worse for me in college because of the mass amounts of presentations I had to give for my poli sci, spanish, and comms classes.

Yeah I think part of it had to do with how strict the graders were. If you spoke too quickly or too slow, that was a loss of points, even if you were still perfectly understandable. Also if you fidgeted at all, that was a few points. Fidgeting included but was not limited to: picking at your clothes, picking at your fingers, talking with you hands, swaying, or moving really any part of your body other than your mouth. Any stumble, stutter, or misspeak was a few points. So on and so forth.

Yeah, for me, making the presentation fun and light-hearted was a major help in finding that comfort zone. Not to mention people typically enjoy a presentation that makes them laugh and brings out a fun and colorful side to it. Presentations where I did this aced wel, and I wish I realized this much sooner.

I just don't like talking in front of people especially on a topic I don't care about XD

Yeah, it's hard, there were plenty of presentations I had to do on topics I didn't care too much about either. In those cases, it just helps to really know your stuff and if you can't grasp everything, just try to grasp as much as you can, cover what you do know, and then fill in the gaps with other relevant material outside the scope of what the original assignment addressed, but still relates and can tie into what you presented earlier (kind of like a DLC). It also helps if you like and/or you know some good details of that additional "DLC" you're adding in there.
I had to do a 45 minute presentation on The Innovator's Dilemma and I covered most of the basics that the book went over, but with that much time to kill, I accompanied the presentation on the generation of where new ideas come from (as a potential origin source for what may cause disruptive innovation). Worked like a charm even though those last fifteen minutes weren't quite what was specifically addressed in the book, but I took it as an approach to find ways to go beyond that scope (and it allowed me to incorporate a fun video on YouTube that addressed this). And covering that kind of stuff was interesting and fun. Aced it, and that presentation was a big part of the final grade.

Yeah I appreciate the advice but I don't think that's going to ease any of the problems I have with stage fright when giving presentations. ^^; Thankfully, at least for now I don't have to give them anymore.

Yeah, I get that venturing out alone feeling. It's strange, doing it in a video game feels just fine, but in real life, it gives me a lost and a "what the heck am I doing" feeling.
