I have a real problem with public speaking. It’s probably been going on for about 5 or more years that I’m aware of. Since I could remember whenever I’m in a publick speakiing situation whether it be a classroom setting or a small social group symptoms range from voice cracking, excessive hand shaking (very obvious), nervousness, sometimes sweating. I guess I’m looking for a quick fix to my problem like medication or something, i’ve even heard hypnosis does a thing or to…any ideas?
I’ve never really been afraid to speak in public, especially not when answering questions during class. I’m 19 years old and I’ve developed this form of stuttering/brain lock anxiety. When I go to answer a question, I know the answer and I start talking and make eye contact with someone and my brain locks, and all i can say is UM….
It’s awful, and embaressing. I don’t know where this came from and it only seemed to happen in ONE CLASS. Now it’s happening in conversations with one or two people. I just get so nervous I get off track and fear what they will say.
What the hell is this, and why am I having this NOW??
I need to fix this soon, because I have a presentation in that class to do in a month.
HELP!!
