When talking to authority you should be involved in the conversation! Make eye contact and show them that you are listening! Think about what you are going to say before you say it so that you know it sounds like it makes sense! Think about how it will sound when you say it! Make sure that it doesn't sound childish! Show the speaker that you are fully involved and focused in the conversation by giving them your full undivided attention! Show them the respect you want them to show you! Ask questions to make sure you understand what they are saying!

This is probably just nerves. I'd suggest just trying to keep in mind that even though they are an authority figure they are still just a person. Just like you. Another thing you can try is just whenever you see an authority figure chat with them if you can. It will probably feel pretty weird at first but the more you do it the better you will be at it. I know it's easy to get intimated by some authority figures but they are just people trying to get through the day like everyone else. I hope this helps you :)

You simply view view figures who exhibit Authority as no different than you intrinsically; not superior, nor possessng a Right of stepping into Your Power which you don't or wouldn't have.
Authority Figures often inescapably confront us with our relationship to our inner way of Authority, as well as, most importantly, reflecting our innermost bond with and to the Authority of our Parents - our most trusted (for better or worse), yet at least most known Beacons of Authority.
Thus upon further practical self-reflection you might come to find out that most of your issues with Authority, and how to deal with it; speak up to it, stem from your bond to your Father.

Based on my personal experience, when you talk to authority, such as teachers, principals, or other figures, its important to be respectful and confident in yourself. Set up a time to talk and when you're there, deliver your conversation while being clear and courteous. Say please and thank you, look them in the eye, have good posture, smile and have a respectful tone of voice. If they say something you don't agree with, offer your point of view while still being calm and collected. It is not always what you say, but how you say it. Remember that authority figures are people too, and that they just want to be respected and valued also.

Be honest when talking to authority and polite and be yourself and then it depends on who you are talking with authority. Keep it professional and no personal emotions if you can unless you know this person will. And also you should make a note on what's weird to one person may not be weird to another person as long as you know jeez the proper etiquette of the year for your age . Try not to speak of her cheese statements and then wait for a reply. A person of authority doesn't make them better to judge you as being weird unless you are doing something that the authority consider weird behavior and I don't know what type of authority so I cannot say what would you need to be weird. Just be normal honest and yourself and I think you will do all right.

How would you want someone to talk to you if you were in a position of authority over them? In my case, I would prefer they treat me as someone who values their opinion and cares about them. Then they would respect my authority because they trust that I know what’s best for them and the group/company. If you’re doing your best to respect them and do what they say, that’s all you can really do! They might not always receive it the way that you hope, but what’s most important is that you are doing what’s right and listening to your heart.

if you are talking to an authority and you feel a little a anxious, just try to breathe a little and always remember that it is their job to protect you and to know what is going on if there is harm being done to you or someone else. its is always great to speak up if you see something bad happen because you could save many people from being harmed. when speaking to authority, try your best to stay calm, and be sure to make your words clear so they will not miss any detail you give them. it may be a little scary at first, but just know you are doing the right thing.

1) Prepare in advance what will you tell to authority, about what you will be talking, which words you will be using. 2) Train your speech before mirror for at least some days before you need to talk to authority. 3) Do relaxation exercises multiple times in days before you need to talk to authority, aim to good sleep (it is important that you are well rested), personal hygiene and good look (makeup, good posture). 4) Just before talking to authority do some relaxation exercises. 5) When you come in the office, have in mind that first impression is most important. Watch out on body language, your voice, etc. Tell what you have to tell, answer their questions trutfully and with confidence. If you will have confidence in yourself, they will confide you.

Sometimes authority figures expect the people they have authority over to talk to them differently than the way other authority figures talk to them. This is something that I have struggled with also. I think the important thing to remember is that although it is important to show them respect, they also owe you respect even if they may have higher social status, and they should be mindful of your feelings too if you remind them of this in a polite way. A good way to avoid conflict with authority is to try to do what they want even if it doesn't always make sense - if you don't argue with them, their status as authority figures will come into play less to begin with and you can go about doing the things you need to do in your life. However, if their treatment or the rules they are implementing are truly unfair or discriminatory, it is important to speak up.

I understand how it feels to be nervous when speaking to authority, but it helps to remember they are a person just like us..! It seems like you might be feeling self-conscious as well, and as an extremely self-conscious person, I know the struggle! It's likely you don't sound as weird as you might think! And if you're feeling nervous, practicing alone and recording your own voice may help. But please take this advice with a grain of salt! It may be harmful, so it's best to realize that this is just my personal opinion. I hope things work out for you!
