How to overcome my fear of public speaking?
Gangstalicious asked:
Ever since I was in my early teens I’ve always had a fear of speaking in front of a large group of strangers. I’m 26 and every time I have to do a presentation for class or work I get very flustered. I feel like I can’t breathe, my mind goes blank, I get tongued tied and my heart beats a mile a minute. I want to beat my fear because this semester I have 6 presentations due through out the summer.

Volunteer at your local church or whatever religious sanctuary to do readings or announcements.

I used to be terrified to speak. I ended up get into trouble and had to go to AA one night some told me I get up and speak. When I did I told the group how terrified I was. I did stammer and stumble a bit I talked about my brother and how close we were then I broke down and cried. Ive never told any about that before. No one laughed after the meeting was over people came up and gave me huggs. Thats how I got over my fear by telling the group. So find class where you feel comfortable. Also take a friend in the class and just talk to them look them dead in the eye. But tell first so they help you. Good luck!!
