I have to present in front of the class on Tuesday and I'm nervous, when I go up to present something my heart always starts beating real fast and I started messing up my words. Sometimes I starting shaking and its pretty obvious and my face turns red. I've had this problem for a while but it's been worse in high school because of the judgmental kids in my school, I guess my insecurities is a big cause.

Do you get stage freight?

Fright*?

Depends on what it is. If I do something at which I'm not confident, yes.

But since I'm in show choir, generally no.

I get HORRIBLE stage fright. It was horrible for me to even present my projects in school because I'd start stuttering and looking down the entire time

Yes. When I was in school and had to speak in front of the class, I would immediately start to shake and my face would get red. The worst was my voice would start to shake really obviously and I would sometimes hear people whisper "She's nervous" like that wouldn't just make me more nervous. I really cannot stand all the attention being on me for an extended period of time, I hate it Let me fade in the background please.

Yes!the same happens to me, I can't stand being the center of attention!

Before I took this speech communication class over the summer, I used to get really bad stage fright. Sweating, trembling, voice shaking, heart pounding.... It felt like I was having a heat flash sometimes. Something as simple as counting off numbers for groups made me nervous as well.

Now all I have to do to calm myself is say "stop, calm" in my head and breath slowly and deeply. It works.

A little bit.

Not just with stage fright, but all the time. Whenever someone tries to talk to me at school, I start crying and screaming.

yes

Sorry to here that, that must be misery for you

I used to, but when i am comfortably speaking in public, sometimes my hands shake, but mentally I'm not afraid at all

Depends, I've been in several different positions where I had to do speeches, be a leader of groups and or perform on stage. If I'm well rehearsed and if it's a free speech or something then its a piece of cake for me.

Yes. I'm so bad a public speaking in general. I usually always f**k up, and say something I shouldn't.

I get nervous doing that too. I can't even explain why.

I don't really get nervous for speeches, though. Once I practice enough, I look confident while presenting.

No. I took theater classes and they made us perform like once every week so eventually it just went away

This
Being an orientation leader and public figure more or less, speaking in front of people gets easier since you don't really have the choice to be nervous anymore

Before of it I ****ing **** my pants, sweating, shaking, hard to breathe, I sit on the floor and can't get up, wanting to cry but when I get out there, everything disappears bit by bit and I get the feeling of doing it again

Yes . Heart attack tbh

Not really I just don't like to present stuff in class period

I used to be really bad with stage fright. I've gotten a lot better though. I'm thinking of taking some drama classes, or something of that sort to make it go completely away.
