Default Re: Public Speaking for the Socially Anxious

Well i dont find presentations or lecturing too difficult because I know what i'm going to say in advance .
Now ask me to chat spontaneously and thats when I get scared ( often)

Tip for presntations . concentrate on explaining clearly NOT on what YOU look like. If you make a mistake its no crime. just think about how to repeat that fact so as to clarify it.

Youre judged ( if youre judged at all) mostly on your clarity not on your nerves except if it leads to awkward mannerisms .
Sometimes even over confident presenters are not good because they make distracting movements
