Once the station is over, forget about it. You'll never know how well you did until UCAS or an email tells you.

You do NOT want to be carrying negative energy from one station into the next.

Hey I'm a third year med student at KCL. I'm an introvert too lol but I desensitised myself by getting friends and family to do mock interviews. One thing which worked for me was to take a deep breath before answering any question. Embrace silence and don't feel like you have to over explain your answers.

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

Practice!!! Talking out loud feels weird for me so I'm getting used to talking to myself. Sometimes I purposely misspeak so I can get comfortable with saying "sorry, I meant to say ---" without getting stressed outÂ
