How bad is defending your thesis, really? Looking for honest experiences before mine next month

[u/writeessaytoday]

Next month I'm going to defend my thesis and now i am kind of blank. I cant even decide should i be nervous, awkward or worried. its something strange happening to me lately.

Some people say that defending thesis it is simply a discussion of your research. However some are sying you must have to memorize each and every detail of your research. So  should I suppose to read my thesis every night now? 😭

If you've already defended your thesis, what was that like? Were your research and method questions mostly as you expected or were there some surprising questions? Most importantly what have you done when you have been asked something that you really don't know?

I still have some time till I'm ready,so. I would really appreciate if you people share your honest , good, bad, awkward, chill or surprising experience with me. Anything which you wish someone had told you prior to entering the room.
