Is spamming a sign of hypoglycemia?

You would gain credibility by using other sources than yourself and your mates.

If you are not interested in nutritional therapy, just don't read my posts.

It's a myth. Stage fright is rare, getting tongue tied and forgetting your lines is what the majority of people are worried about. Just script it and learn it. Watch others, the best at the moment is Andy Harrington. the idea of fear of speaking being the number one fear is also a myth. So few people have to speak to groups anyway and most can no problem once they have prepared.

There has never been a 'most common fear' study by anyone. It's another myth.

I am nervous when I am doing a presentation because I don't know if people will like what I am going to present, there are also other things that come into mind when I do presentations...

There are many factors that can cause people to be nervous at presentations but the most common reason is FEAR...

im terrified of public speaking if i respect my audience. my friends and i are judgmental to a fault, and i think you inevitably internalize your negativity towards others sooner or later. i am so scared people i respect are going to think i'm stupid.

But, perhaps you do want to public speak, despite the shaking and quaking in the body. Its the body, not the mind that fears public speaking. Some people call what they are feeling in the body FEAR. And other people call it EXCITEMENT!

Most likely some people won't find your talk inspirational, and maybe others will.

Do you really want to give talks? Preparation and everything else towards the talk is vital, as is personal self care. Give yourself some Emotional Freedom Technique - EFT - look it up if you've not heard of it. It is the best for soothing amd pvercoming troubled nerves.

Then congratulate yourself after the talk, no matter how you THINK it went.

Best wishes.

People get nervous for all different kinds of reasons.

For a start - it can be intimidating having all eyes watching you (that's what used to make me nervous). Also, we've been taught since we were young that 'hogging the limelight' isn't a good thing.

We have to remember that what we have to say could really help someone and that helps to give confidence.

There is a fine line betwen feeling nervous and feeling excited since the symptons are very similar.
So some times you can simply say to yourself that you are excited, a few times and eventually you will train your body to act in that way.

I used to get really nervous when i spoke. The best advice i ever got was that NO body knows exactly what I was meant to say... so if i said something wrong, it was only wrong to me and nobody would ever know. It certainly helped me get over the fear of always being right!

I just always assume I'm going to mess up...

Andy is quite correct.

I was giving a speech and suddenly realised that I had missed out a great chunk of material.

The first reaction was “go back and reintroduce it…”

Then I remembered that no one in the audience would know what I had missed out and so I just kept going.

And the speech was great.

Most people get nervous when speaking in public. Even when you get used to it you'd still get nervous. It's how you prepare for it and handle your nerves that makes things go much smoother.
