| Does anybody else have a fear of public speaking and doing presentations in front of an audience? I usually get so nervous and start stuttering and shaking. I really have no clue what to do about this because I feel that its holding me back tremendously. Can someone give some advice about it |

well, i have the same problem really. I usually solve by taking a really deep breath trough my noose and breathe it back trough my mouth. And whenever you feel the stuttering coming back, you repeat it. Works for me.
or you can get drunk before doing it :thepirate |

maybe try taking a class at a local college, most of them offer some type of speech/communication class.
if that doesn't work, do a line of blow before your presentation. :wtf: |

nah thats not a good idea. i hate public speaking but have learned to do it without too much embarassment. i usually focus on one person and give the speech or presentation to that one person. |

just bull your way through it. Its so easy, like Floorfiller said once you get the it attitude you wont care and you can just breeze right through it.
I always stare directly at people in their eyes and make them uncomfortable b/c i know they're doing the same thing to me. |

I get really nervous in front of large crowds of people. That and when giving any kind of professional presentation. Its to the point that I almost can't even do my part - I am so terrified.
I haven't found a cure for it. Not giving a is not an option. I have tried getting drunk beforehand and that does work, but its not generally a good idea. I wonder if there is medication or something.... |

| would you typically say that you have low self esteem? |
|

| Dirk W. |
| hmmm no. i wouldnt say that. i'm usually told im kinda cocky. maybe its making up for an underlying low self-esteem though. |
