It is a normal feeling for most individuals. It is common to feel intimidated when you are speaking with a VIP. The trick is to take a deep breath/inhale before starting a conversation or approaching the person. Don't speak very fast, keep calm and think before you speak. Keep in your mind that you are just having a friendly chat or conversation and not competing or debating each other. If you are still nervous, try to inject a topic that you are well versed and then when you have your confidence, you may try and look for a topic you are both interested in to make the conversation a pleasant one.

Happens to many people. I was just like that but over a period of time I realised that the reason the other person is intimidating is because deep down inside - HE/SHE IS SCARED TO FACE YOU .
You see, confidence is built on the foundations of another person's lack of confidence.
You know how I cured myself? I practised looking at a confident person in the face and in fact right into his eyes and stated to myself - heck - he is no better than I am , most likely worse off!
And then I spoke in a firm , SLOW but sure voice.
A few occassions like that - and now I can talk to the prez !!

Being intimidated by others happens to a lot of people. If you are feeling that way/ shy or awkward then remember the skills you were taught at school when speaking in front of an audience eg that the person standing in front of you is in their underwear...remember all people put their pants on the same way one leg at a time its a great leveler.

I believe it's not you!! It's not a disorder it is normal. Sometimes people that are xtremely confident in my own opinion are not as wat they seem to be. I find people that are like that are not good listeners because they are so caught up in over their head that they don't step back to let someone else take the lime light. Some people love the attention they thrive on it. Being over confident gets them the attention. Do you find they are always the ones talking or asking questions?? They are probably the funny ones as well. You no wat don't worry about people like that if your happy the way you are that's all you really have to worry about. Be your own person Girl!!!!

You are completely normal. We all get intimidated. And quite frankly, those who don't get intimidated ever are the jerks that act like they are better than everyone else anyways.
