hello,
I have a serious problem when it comes to speaking in front of classes even if i gotta read like a small paragraph or something...I get really bad..my heart feels like its gonna pop out my chest, i sweat, face turns red, my voice shakes, mind blanks,i get really jittery and its so bad sometimes i cant see in front of me!!!!!!!!??? , It gets really embarassing to the point you wish you could instantly dissapear...I don't know why because i am not what you would call shy at all? But when it comes to doing presentations or speaking in front of a group I have almost avoided it my whole life? And i just want to overcome it and talk more relaxed in front of class...I've heard that it is some sort of disorder and can be medicated? I'm not sure any help would be really appreciated

Hi rolex

You know what, contradictory though it sounds, it can really help to tell the audience that you feel a bit nervous today, you don't know why.

When they know already, you don't feel like you have to struggle to hide it. Because you don't struggle, you quickly overcome the first feelings and everything goes more smoothly

Why not give it a try?

Dude I know exactly how you feel, the story is scarily similar, if you have MSN or something add me and we can talk, I've looked into a lot of things and I know a few things that don't work although I've not found the key to solving it yet, my addy is [email protected]
