Why can't I talk easily in front of my class?

Because of many factors related to self-esteem, self-confidence, self-acceptance as you are, and self-love. It is important to be able to accept yourself and your flaws as they are, to stop comparing to others, to believe in yourself and respect yourself. You fear that you may be judged, mocked, bullied, humiliated, that you will die of anxiety, and forget the topic you are talking about, and those fears are normal. We all have them. It is helpful to observe your classmates as human beings with the same hopes and dreams as yours, so as fears. Imagine yourself in advance as a successful and knowledgeable professor, giving a lecture to your students. It is helpful.

You are not alone in this. Speaking in front of your class can be daunting and can make us feel anxious. You are maybe fearing saying something wrong, or a worried about being judged, but only you will be able to work out the true cause. The key here, is not to avoid this just because it is easy. The more you do something, the easier it becomes. Avoiding things can become a 'safety behaviour' quite quickly which means that we rely on avoiding things and it can make what we are avoiding seem even worse. It's easier said than done, I know. But it can be done!!

I can't talk easily in front of my class because I have an irrational fear of people judging me and laughing at me as people do tend to laugh at me as I do things that others don't do. I also therefore feel shy as I think other people are better than me and that makes me feel less worthy and more stupid. I also fear that I am different and may have different opinions and different ways in which I present my ideas which might not be good.

Based on my experience its normally from just being really anxious and worried I am going to mess up. If it is the same for you I would really recommend having index cards with you if you can because my memory cuts out when I am anxious and I can forget the information. My other suggestion would to be to stare at the back of the room the whole time, right over your classmates' heads. This way you won't and can't make eye contact with them which is normally pretty nerve wracking. If this isn't the case for you though, it could be social/general anxiety or just poor public speaking skills.

I used to feel that way because I was afraid that I might make a mistake and embarrass myself in front of my classmates. Try not to be afraid of making mistakes - everyone makes mistakes. They are natural! And even if you do make mistakes, it is not something that will stick to people's minds for a long time. The next time you have to talk in front of your class and feel that it is difficult, remind yourself of why you are feeling that way and tell yourself that it is okay to make mistakes. No one is perfect.

if you are surrounded by many people it may lead you get anxious and a fear of people that they might start judging you like how you are talking, what you are wearing, your body language. All the attention of the people will be on you so that might lead you to get nervous and to overcome this you need to be confidence. Practice in front of mirror that someone is watching you that will help you to gain confidence speak in front of your friends. There are lot of videos and articles which will help you to gain confidence. And don't worry public speaking fear is common among people so you can get out of it easily.

It is an "I" issue and it is a fear issue. Why we can not be comfortable with our bodies, our way of speaking, our thoughts and ideas and express them freely without a fear of being ridiculed or put down in any way? It is a good practice to start expressing openly your ideas and communicate them clearly and if they are not liked think about and evaluate. We do not have to make everyone else happy, but we should live true life, and fulfill our own standards and goals without apology. Respecting and loving our own body, our own brain and being comfortable with who we are as people will make us more secure and more happy. Everyone should be happy first with our own self and when that is in order most of the people do not have issue of standing up and expressing their own thoughts in front of any size of public in front of us. So be safe and be happy.

the problem of expressing self in front of the crowd have been brothering worldwide population. In my personal opinion even the most calm seeming person have tachycardia while being on the stage and talking to his own friend. Experience might be the key to success to those who does not have fear while sharing their thought .It's not unique problem to you only so you need not need to be depress over it. Practicing speaking in front of mirror might have the positive effect in helping brain to calm down and talk easily in the class.

The most common form of social anxiety is public speaking, and it is especially common among youth and students. It is a very hard thing for many students to do, especially when it is speeches or reciting something that you wrote yourself. We often get more nervous when sharing our own ideas, and are afraid of judgement. Just know that these feelings are very normal and common. It also could be a product of low self confidence, many people do not feel confident enough to share their own ideas, or are too scared what they are saying is wrong.

Public speaking is one of the most common phobias, so you do not need to feel alone in this, most people will be feeling exactly the same way as you do. Sometimes practicing in front of someone, or even a mirror to start with to help you feel comfortable can ease you into it. This can help in my experience, when I had to speak in front of my class too. But it sounds like you care a lot about improving which is a great start! Little steps, and remember you can do this, you're doing great, and you're certainly not alone!
