Just breathe in and out and take all the time you need to present it. You got this.

I personally think this has something to also do with social anxiety. It could be connected in some way. But I just want to know what goes on in the mind of someone who “needs” to overcome this phobia.

Wish I could present my college work for the audience when I’ll be 45 years old.

But I realized that everybody make mistakes even the most eloquent journalists. So, I developed a self-esteem believing that even when people jeer at you it cannot last up to two weeks. Believe that you know what you are talking about even more than the audience. Then, also believe that they will appreciate you at the end of your speech or presentation. You will then become a motivational speaker. It worked for me and now I am always looking for where to make a public speaking.

We have to do a speech in front of everyone and i cant to do it but there are no excuses of not doing it so i am doing it on why students should not have to be forced to public speak and i am ridiculously frightened. I have to do a speech this Sunday and the assignment one is next week, any ideas on how i can fix it?

You don’t understand if you think that, I had a bout with it earlier this evening, i was asked to speak of experience in front of a group and couldn’t even show up. I accepted when asked thinking I could get through this this time, as the time approached for me to leave my house earlier this evening, my stomach started knotting up, i got diarrhea. I got in the car in full panic mode, already told myself at that point I wasn’t going and sat in my car, mentally exhausted for 1.5 hrs. Don’t tell me to get over it, or we have a pill to reduce your anxiety, or an herbal supplement, or steps to take. It’s embarrassing to go completely blank, to not be able to put sentences together when to focus, not be able to remember your point, etc and to be questioned about it. That’s why i’m here looking for anything that defines what I go through. I see definitions and symptoms but it’s always followed by how to overcome. There isn’t any overcoming this!
