Common Questions and Answers about Fear of public speaking why
fear
As BeeFree stated, it is very normal to feel anxious when we have to speak in front of a group of strangers. I'm sure that most people feel anxiety to some extent when put in that position.
There are self-help books available that will teach you many tips and tricks to deal with this anxiety. If possible, take a Public Speaking class.........I did and it was the best thing I'd done for myself at that time.
Fear of heights in all its forms is, I believe, the 2d most common phobia (the first is fear of speaking in public, officially, but I'm guessing more people confront heights than the need to speak in public so I'm guessing heights might be the most common fear). I have this phobia, but didn't have it until I got a full-blown anxiety disorder. If this is your only phobia, good; if you have several and are anxious about a lot of things, harder.
many people have a fear of public speaking. And remember anxiety and panic can come at the most inoppertune times even if we have previously been through the exact same experience panic free time after time. I also agree that you should not expect perfection and not be too hard on yourself. Just the fact that you get up there is something that you should give yourself credit for; that is no easy feat to accomplish in my opinion.
Do you have other social situations that you get anxious in?
Norco I use to love Public speaking because it scared the **** out of me, gave me that fear buzz, loved being afraid ( weird ) Then with Mr Norco no fear whatsoever, wasn't as much fun. Now I'm just unsure and uncomfortable, no self confidence. This time the fear is not fun. I guess I'm just a Day 18 recovering addict, asking for help once again.... Don't think I'll put the pills in my pocket tonight.. But then again I might still need that out....

There's more but I think this is enough proof of bias.
If your problem is you are "too" shy when dealing with one or more people, I suggest is isn't a drug that you need. Rather you need help in facing this shyness and beating it down.
This can/must be started in small steps. Pick something simple, like one situation that doesn't involve lots of people like public speaking, and condition yourself to deal with it. A good one would be talking with one other person who makes you nervous or otherwise troubled.
You are both suffering from a very common phobia. Fear of the dark goes back to the dawn of man and since that time, millions of people have fought it all there lives.
Please do not berate yourselves for this phobia or think you are silly for being afraid of the dark at your age.
Our phobias are ours to own and suffer with as long as we do nothing about them.
Since both of you have stated that your phobia is now interfering with your lives, it's time to take the bull by the horns!
d probably start by seeing a therapist or other professional who specializes in treating this problem, or maybe taking a public speaking course and practicing until you lose your fear of it. Or learning some CBT type techniques of relaxation and demystifying the situation. There are herbs and other amino acids, such as taurine, that can also be helpful, though any relaxation supplement or medication can cause sedation.
Honestly the only way to stay on top of the stutter, is by understanding the why of it and trying to maintaining control. I highly recommend pausing as soon as you recognise the stutter, purposely stopping, thinking of the word you want to say, taking a breath even can all give your brain a long enough break, so you can resume speaking normally again.
I am a graduate student. I have a fear of public speaking and a stage/performance fear when I speak in front of new people or students of my class. A few of my classes require that I give powerpoint presentations in front of the class. When I am on the spot, my voice and hands become shaky - I sometimes lose concentration to the point that I cannot get words out of my mouth even though I go in front of the class very well prepared.
I hope I'm home in my room or something if it breaks that way I will know and won't have to have someone else clean it up lol. Every time me and my husband go anywhere public he's like "what if your water breaks here" it makes me nervous the rest of the time we are out lol.
I tried not to do that, and it eventually leads to s strong urge to throw up, often spitting out mucus and saliva in toilet. Now I am afraid of public places, even visiting shopping malls or cinema is terrifying (unless I am near to toilet). Besides that, I feel that this throwing up issue has also somehow link itself to my fears. This means that when I am in the state of fear/anxiety (eg.
Then he put on a condom, before he could get the head of his penis good inside of me i asked him to stop. The next day i asked my did he have anything and he got very offended.

I'm in therapy I still have these thoughts I don't understand I was so normal a year ago. I did extreme sports all the time wasn't afraid of public. Now I'm afraid of a lot of things.
Everyone has things that bother them. Sometimes when movement like a swing bothers you it can be an inner ear imbalance or just a fear of losing control. It doesn't mean you have an anxiety problem or that you don't have one. The question for that is, do you feel anxious about nothing or phobias about a lot of things, or are there just a couple of things you don't like?
Trump destroys what the "the establishment" Republican Party is all about, so I'm ALL FOR HIM. This country has been trying the same thing, over & over & over, for the last 60-years... and look where it's gotten us, and WHO it's gotten us.
Of course, none of you really like him, and that's okay.
That's what makes this country mediocre...
I think it came about as sort of a defense mechanism, as I was pushing myself to be more sociable i kind of developed depersonalization as a shield to anything at all bad that could happen when interacting with other people. I fear awkwardness, public speaking, etc. I am glad i pushed myself because I do love my friends even more now that I hang out with them outside of school ( never did before ). Is there anything I can do to make this depersonalization go away?
My therapist understands this question, but may not have enough clinical training in this area. She was the one to suggest that he had a fear of being swallowed up by me, thus he preferred digital penetration. But when I try to probe deeper into the issue, she becomes defensive.
I just had an idea. I recently started seeing a psychiatrist for medication, and she might or might not have some input into this issue. I am going to figure this out eventually.
You are most definitely not alone in your fear of public speaking. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's at the top of the list for people's worst fears. If I get called upon to speak to a group of people, I can feel my face turn beet red, I start to sweat like a hog with no waller to wallow in, I KNOW I'm about to wet my knickers and I shake like I've got ants in my pants, which would be my wet knickers!
