Because you don't feel confortable or are nervous or insecure. This is perfectly okay, some people have more trouble speaking in public than others, but it is a skill that can be trained, practice leads to perfection.

It is normal to find it difficult to speak publicly in front of groups of people. It is an unusual situation, talking without necessarily receiving an immediate response, and feeling like you are on show.
It becomes easier with practice, and I find it helpful to remember that the audience are far less interested in any mistakes you make, and more interested in the things you have to tell them. In that way most of them are on your side, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

Because you're afraid of being judged- of what they might say, think or how they might talk amongst themselves in front of you. You may think that you'll end up doing something stupid. But many people feel that way, I know I do. The truth is, most people don't care about who's saying what in front of the class, they will be too worried about their turn to speak. And other times, you can't really control what they think. People will always have something to say, you can't stop them. So why worry about things you have no control over? Relax, and be the best speaker you can possibly be.

Everyone feels anxiety when stepping in front of a crowd of people, especially if you know them. Think less about them, and more about your speaking points.

Feeling nervous or embarrassed when talking in front of lots of people is fairly common. However, if you feel like you are overly anxious - for instance, suffering from stammers, extreme blushing, increased heart rate or being teary - you may suffer from Social Anxiety. You may want to google some of the other symptoms and consider speaking to friends or family if you believe it is causing you stress or hindering the way you live your life.

Public speaking is not an easy task for people who have anxiety or are not naturally outgoing. Even though someone might have prepared and rehearsed their presentation beforehand, it’s possible that the fear of being judged by classmates or the potential for embarrassment and failure on behalf of oneself causes the mind to blank out.
