Do you struggle with anxiety in general? This sounds like a symptom of a bigger problem.

First step is cut out all drugs (yes even our beloved alcohol). As a depressant it might work in the short term, for the same reason long term it will make things worse.

Toastmasters is a good idea. Have you tried talking to a therapist?

How do you fence stolen gasoline? Is there a black market for the stuff?

Even if you got away with this, you're looking at $2000-$4000 in profit? Seems hardly with the risk (even if you're not concerned with ethics). Not to mention you have to safely store 800 gallons of gas somewhere.

Their small apartment is now full of pinball machines, tools and parts

Thanks for sharing. I'm considering VNS but frankly I'm terrified of complications and recovery time.

Simply conserving battery life?

And according to the article iPhone users that thought their Bluetooth was turned off were vulnerable to attacks; that's not a superstition.

Old Man Musk can talk it, can't walk it. This playground provocation was boring enough when it started, good call by zuck.
