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

When I was in school I was in fear of being embarrassed or that I was seen as not smart enough. It always was difficult for me to compete with my classmates. They always seemed one step further than I was. But later on, I discovered that I was just very nervous and anxious. I've learned techniques to calm myself down and to strengthen my self-consciousness. That helped me a lot.

You're definitely not alone in feeling this way. It's hard to speak in front of a group. Public speaking can be intimidating and overwhelming. Keep practicing and staying brave. Eventually, it will start to get easier. If not, it could be a symptom of social anxiety in which case I would chat with a doctor about it.

It can be intimidating to have to speak in front of a large crowd of people at once; especially when you have to face these people every day. A lot of people worry that they are being judged by their classmates. A good thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the time in grade school, people are not being nearly as attentive as you think they are.

Alot of us get very nervous to talk in front if classes, thats very normal. Try thinking of it as your body preparing you to do good. We get the same feeling when we are excited and scared so maybe try thinking that you are excited

Talking in front of a class can be a stressful endeavor for many people, especially those who have anxiety.

Don’t let the fast-paced superficial world take over your life. The world is fast paced and it keeps people in their comfort zones. It stops people from thinking and keeps them busy. Being busy searching is wonderful, but don’t get so busy doing that you don’t allow yourself to feel.

According to me, fear of objected, rejected, made fun of and commiting mistake in front of class creeps in. One has to be confident that they are as good enough as others sitting in class and ready to accept if they commit any mistake.

Could be social anxiety, or just being too focused on the idea of everyone in one place quietly paying attention to you, and that makes you feel pressure. You get nervous or stage-fright once you realize that all eyes are on you. You might feel doubt about what you're about to say, perhaps because you didn't practice your presentation enough (or with someone else to help prepare for the situation of others silently watching). It could also be that you think that they're silently evaluating your performance, but if you've ever been in that position (as the audience member of a presentation) before, you know that's not the case. Doesn't matter if it's in front of others or just by yourself. If you know what you're meant to say and do, that'll help (if only a little).

Perhaps you have anxiety. Remember this, whenever you are going to speak publicly, speak as if you are in front of a group of naked people. Funny,huh? Well, this helps lessen the tension you may feel. Also if eye contact scares you look at the top of people's heads and look around the room, people won't be able to tell you arent* looking at them*!

Public speaking is not for everyone. It can be a terrifying thing, and that is very normal. Some of us experience different levels/types of anxieties and public speaking is one of them. With practice and determination it may get easier, it all depends on how you grow and progress.
