Speaking in public

Communication with other people is something that happens very often in a person’s life. However, for some people, like me, speaking in public is one of the most frightening experiences in life. It is hard to explain why this happens and I often feel stupid when I think about it. For me, to pass a message to four, five people is completely fine. On the other hand, passing the message to 20, 30 people is a completely different story. I can feel the pressure and stress building up just for thinking about it. When it is time to talk in front of the public, I usually start trembling and I repeat myself a lot of times. The weirdest part is that when I was young I was a good public speaker and it did not intimidate me at all. It was when I got older, around ninth grade that this fear appeared. It is really annoying because people with this fear have to work way harder in school. For instance, I had a speech in the school which I put over 12 hours of work. Some people in my class did it in 1 hour and got a better grade than me.
