I had to stand in front of people and talk A LOT in school because my teachers always wanted the kids to do presentations. I would always get super nervous and would mess up on my words. I'd also choke, lose my breath, and repeatedly drop stuff if I had anything in my hands. It was sooo embarrassing. I still have a really hard time talking to people if I feel like that person is judgmental/critical. A lot of people are judgmental and critical, whether they want to admit it or not and because I know that it makes me want to be absolutely perfect but by trying really hard to be perfect, I end up messing up a lot more than I would if I just didn't care what others think about me. It's hard to stop caring about the way you and others see you. I don't know if that's what makes you so nervous to speak in front of a lot of people but that's what makes me so nervous!
IIN to be horribly, terribly terrified or afraid of speaking in class?
