Talking in front of big groups or crowds is a very common, and valid fear. It can also be a symptom of social anxiety. Many people suffer from this and it can be even debilitating to some people. However there are lots of ways to overcome it, depending on how severe it is. For extreme cases speaking with a therapist about it, and perhaps trying Cognitive Behavioral Therapies could aid in improving this. For others, sometimes it takes practice or rehearsal. Just know that your feelings are valid, and that its a very common and normal thing that happens to a plethora of people :)

It can be hard to talk in front of people. There could be many reasons, but most likely you are shy. This is an anxiety many people share with you. It can be scary to put yourself out there, particularly if you haven't had many opportunities to do so in the past. I know it's easier said than done, but it can really help to force yourself out of your comfort zone by seeking out more opportunities to talk in front of your class. Perhaps you could start by raising your hand to answer more questions in class. It also can help to prepare; practice speeches in front of the mirror, ask yourself what questions you would ask if you were the teacher when going through your material and practice your responses. The best way to overcome fear is to travel through it. It's of course also possible you are experiencing some other underlying difficulty such as PTSD and your worry might come from fears of having a panic attack, or other things in that direction. These are challenges that can be overcome and talking to someone can help. I wish you the best of luck and remember you're not alone.

Based on personal experience, I am afraid to talk infront of my class due to my accent. Lots of people have different reasons to be tongue tied with presenting something to the class, it's like butterflies in your tummy - you don't know what the reaction will be or if it will be up to set standards with your peers or your teacher, especially if you are unfamiliar with the people in your class or classes. It's most likely just a jolt of your nerves getting to you, but once it's over you feel a lot better when complete.

Eyes on you, the teacher's red pen, the crowd is awaiting to see the sentenced to death. It's you, it's frightening, words slip, voice shaking and palms sweating. You're wondering, what are they thinking, did I say this word right? Do they actually care? What if they all started laughing? Ehem, I'm saying the first word, the second then, the third, that was hard ! Three words and it felt like a mountain. The hundreds of trillions of possibilities that could happen they all keep spinning in your head. They can't be seeing but they do actually exist and that's why.

Sometimes feeling everyones eyes on you adds a lot of pressure. You might know you're correct yet still convince yourself something bad is going to happen, you're going to get laughed at or seen as too smart and get bullied. Or you may be insecure in your looks and not like people staring. You might feel you aren't smart and are convinced you'll get it wrong. You might think your teacher might tell you off or even mock you for doing so. And also you might be scared of a bad grade. All of these add to feeling insecure.

Because you only think they will only focus on your mistakes and the flaws but instead of that think how they will see the perfect and amazing side of you so think how shinny you're and the useful information you're going to inform them with and think how you love yourself so why not they will love you so stick on those ideas and you'll be confident,,and actually we only see the bad things in ourselves when we focus too much on ourselves but people don't notice that because they're not looking so closely to you as you do to yourself

Social anxiety can get the best of all of us, it can be tough. Even if you don't think you have anxiety, you may just be nervous or scared and thats perfectly normal. Even now, I get easily scared when talking to big crowds and so do the people you see on TV. Try taking several deep breaths before you go on and reciting the words in your mind several times before can help! Practice makes perfect! no matter what happens, it will be ok. Overcoming things like this can help you on your growth journey! I believe in you!

Sounds like you have social anxiety. You're afraid you would embarrass yourself if you mess up, is that correct? Do you think people will judge you or laugh at you, and you're afraid of being publicly humiliated. There might be someone you're especially scared to mess up in front of. It can be a popular kid, someone you like, someone you want to make friends with or impress, a judgy teacher or just the general public. It's worse if you're dyslexic. Do you think you could be dyslexic? Take some online tests and find out. Dyslexia is a common cause of this.

Sounds like its hard to talk to a large group of classmates. What do you think before talking in front of the class may help? I felt the same way the very first time I had to talk in front of my class. My face would turn red and my heart would race a lot. Can you think of anything you could do right before class you can do that would help you? Do you have a friend in class that you can ask to support you? The pressure sounds hard and scary. What are some things you like about your class?
