I tend to get a little tense and generally feel uncomfortable presenting anything to a sizable audience.
-
oh yeh i get real nervous like everyones looking at me sometimes i just cant handle the pressure of all that but now i went to a communications course at my college and i feel way better about speaking in front of others

I get nerves but I am actually better in front of many people rather than a few. That's were I'm the most uncomfortable.
-
I get SO nervous! I start talking loudly, and I forget words in the middle of my sentances. It's awkward.

I speak too fast when I get nervous..the bank I used to work at had me give a speech in front of about 100 people and if they gave a quiz at the end of my speech I have a feeling no one would have passed.:)

Same here, even if I know the subject like the back of my hand, I still forget and some times feel like I don't know wtf I am talking about. I sure hope the person listening does not feel this way. I guess it is like an Artist, they are never happy with the drawing they have but the person viewing it thinks it is amazing. Go figure...

"The Mirror Technique" is the best way to get over that, for good.

Yes, I have to give a 3-5minute report on OCD to my Anatomy 1 class on Monday...I'm all jittery thinking about it!

Not really, I used to do that quite often when I was working and doing the charity fundraiser stuff..The only problem I had was going off track about halfway through a speech and talking about all kinds of sh#t :)

-
Not really. I find it helpful to focus on a specific person in the crowd, rather than the entire mob.

I have an anxiety disorder so yes yes

I took speech in college and had to have nerves pills just thinking about the speech and you don't even want to know how physically sick I got actually having to give it. It wasn't really all that bad but I have an anxiety problem and I don't even like to speak in a room with 5 people so try a class of 30 or more
