Each person has their own characteristics; some are extroverted, others are shy and reserved. It is up each person to decide if they want to change their nature or accept themselves the way they are.

Its normal to have anxiety over talking in front of a class full of people. The best way to help yourself get over this is to 1.) practice for several weeks in front of a mirror (knowing what you are going to say helps to relax you) 2.) practice with a close friend/relative and ask for tips on improvement 3.) Do not forget to breathe and understand that everyone in the class is probably just as nervous as you are.

Speaking in front of a group of people is definitely pretty nerve-racking, that's why I can't speak easily in front of the class easily. Do I do it anyways? Yes, sometimes. I've learned that we tend to focus on other people more than ourselves, when in fact, everybody is only thinking of themselves and won't remember the time a peer spoke up in front of the class.

It could be several things, and it's important to be able to self-reflect and identify where the problem comes from. Some people are simply shy and don't feel comfortable talking in front of a crowd, which is totally normal. Most people probably feel slightly anxious when they have to. Some are also afraid to embarrass themselves, not perferm as well as they'd like to, or are afraid people are going to laugh at them. All these reasons are legitimate, but it's important to identify what causes you to feel anxiety in that situation.

Are you afraid to make mistakes in front of your peers? It's probably just anxiety if that's the case. If you are feeling anxious all the time around people, then it is probably social anxiety you're feeling. To combat this, you can try talking about it to others, working forwards to not feel so anxious. Finding ways to release your nervous energy is also important. Remember to use baby steps; you can't expect yourself to be perfect at every moment. Work up to it.

It's not uncommon to feel nervous in front of people. You're putting yourself in a position that makes you vulnerable, but I think prepping yourself beforehand makes all the difference. Like telling yourself that you can do it and really believing that you will do amazing, even if you don't believe it in the moment.

Many people feel anxiety when speaking in front of a crowd. We fear that we will not be able to express ourselves eloquently, or that people will be judging us as we speak. It is important to remember that most people feel this way at some point, and that we are often our own harshest critic.

Most people have a bit of worry when it comes to speaking to a group or class. It's completely normal! The fear of making a mistake is human, and to get better with it, you have to take it one step at a time. Start with saying a sentence aloud. Then to yourself in the mirror. Keep taking small steps to get better instead of fearing it.
