  • I had to give a presentation in my psychology class. That look you get from the students after you made a awful presentation. Id rather do a 12 page report than 30 seconds of public speaking.

  • I don't think people without an anxiety disorder can ever really understand the level of fear public speaking invokes in those of us that do. As great as the anxiety is in anticipation, so is the relief once it is over.

  • Holla! Have you thought about the book Public Speaking for Frankenstein ? I got some unbelivable advice from it and afterwards gave a show without fear.

  • Same thing happened to me except I was in 7th grade. She told me to sit down in the middle of my presentation and i think thats the reason I have a fear of public speaking now... because i never used to =/

  • What you said is right--everyone says "oh, well everyone gets nervous." But, they have no idea! Lucky for them. I have suffered from extreme anxiety when speaking in public for my whole life. I remember giving a speech in 6th grade and literally shaking. Same thing happened in high school. I get so nervous I forget what I'm saying. I agree with what somebody said in other comments--preparation is key. Write things out--use index cards, walk around and practice what you're going to say.

  • I have to tell you, you are great!! thank you very much for this video and if I was you, you have nothing to worry about. Don't carry what happened to, just use it as to enforce you to be stronger

  • I think it's the fear of being judged by the people your speaking to, and the fact that everyone's eyes are on you makes it totally unbearable.

  • I'm supposed to do a presentation infront of the class tomorrow on anything I like, but today i've been so stressed out and worried about doing it infront of the whole class that i haven't been able to stop crying. I've never liked doing speeches, but this time i can't just read whats on my paper, i have to do a proper presentation thats interactive. I honestly don't think I can do it, even though its for my GCSE.

  • public speaking, presentation, oral presentation = scary words to me

  • i hate public speaking and this year in school were mostly focusing on doing speeches and presentations!! :(((

  • Was your childhood stressful or dramatic???

  • everything you said is exactly what i went through and still go through.
