Is it normal to hate speaking to big crowds?

Is it normal to hate speaking to crowds? Such as presentation and what not? Because I have a terrible fear of this. I have given oral presentations before but seems that instead of getting more comfortable with it, I seem to be getting more and more nervous each time. So tell me, please, is this normal?

    For me the paranoia kicks in after I'm done speaking.

      id actually rather die than give a public speech. when i was in junior high we had a class where each day a different student would stand at a podium and read from the novel we were studying. i used to start crying while i was up there reading because i got so nervous. i don't know what it is. but its effin scary!
