Answers:
Being anxious in front of the class is normal!. Practice will take care of that problem!. If your symptoms are more pronounced you may want to seek the help of your doctor who can determine what sort of help you may need!. I have social anxiety, too!. Only I can more easily speak in front of a group than socially mingle!. If you have a speech, you have a script, something to follow!. Concentrate on your script!. People aren't being as critical of you as you imagine!. The focus isn't on you, but the message you're trying to convey!. Another thing: if you do happen to mess up, a lot of times people feel just as embarrassed as you do!. They don't want you to mess up!. Just make sure you know your material well!. Practice first in front of a mirror!. Then make the speech to a family member!. Know your stuff backwards and forwards!. You'll do fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I was in junior high, a girl was so afraid of speaking in front of the class, that she only said two words and she burst into tears!. The thing is, nobody laughed at her!. Most of the class actually understood her anxiety!. I guess because most of us have it in one degree or another!.

The way to fix it is to do it!. It would be a little easier if you pick topics that are of great interest to you!. Do it as often as you can if you want to be, say, a lawyer or something if you are planning a career that involves speaking in front of people!.

Try to remember that you are special and that you have important things to say!Www@Answer-Health@Com

They make prescription medications for that, but I do not suggest that!. I found that giving a handout in my classes helps!. People focus on the paper rather than on you!. Remember practice makes perfect!. You will become more confident as you get older!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
