I would like to know for further info

fear of what people think
caring about impressions
fear of rejection
fear of failure
fear of imperfection and mistakes
fear of letting oneself down

Answer 2

Fear in public speaking only is in fear of rejection. Picture everyone as being like you. Try to touch on subjects that relate to others that reach them. Humor is always a good thing to start out with.

Answer 3

well i would say low self esteem, or your a longer , or you just do not like to be in the spot light, phobia's, not thinking your speech is that good, just the nerves and shy type. and etc. Mainly i would say you would need to work on your self esteem, cause that is why you usually do not feel comfortable in front of a crowd, so you really need to start changing the way you think, when you think neg about yourself, well you need to stop there, and change it to an postive thought, i know this sounds easy but it is not, and it is hard work, but it is well worth it. If you can not do this without professional help then get a therapist , and like i said it is going to be hard work, and you may not enjoy trying to be or think positive, but it does work in time. So keep at it.

Answer 4

Probably because these individuals that suffer from this are not good exhibitionists.

Speaking in public or at a meeting or holding a seminar is one of my greatest times.

I can walk into a store and see people standing in line watiing and nobody says anything to anybody...it's as if they;re afraid their gonan catch something.

If I am in the store with you, I will get you talking quickly. People sometimes get caught up in so much chaos in their lives that their miserable when they get to the stoe or in a hurry. people have fear everyday about who they might meet or who they can trust so they keep quite and this behavior is not good.

I talk to everybody or somebody standing in line usually by first complimenting them for what they have on or what their buying. I'm good at it and once you do that then they start talking.

Answer 5

I think the main reason for the fear is that we are concerned with what the listeners think of us. I have noticed that the fear disappears when I am talking about something that I am very passionate about and I am so much into my subject that I lose all awareness of what people are thinking about me.
