I was in training today, topic was interview skills. I was asked to answer a question amongst my 15 workmates who were a part of the audience and I just felt my face flush a bright RED! It may have been pink, but I am sure everyone noticed. I am not good at letting my voice being heard to more than 10 people. I can speak within a small grp, such as in an interview with a panel of 3 ppl. But in class I just go hot, flustered and red! It's so embarassing, and whateva I say is gibberish! :/ I hate being like that, even though I am confident on my own. I just dont like public speaking!

I was going to try for a competition on the weekend, girls modelling and representing youth and fighting for enviro issues. But it was till I found out I had to say a speech I dont want to do it anymore! :( If only I didnt feel this way I could do a lot of things, but it is my fear. In psychology I learnt that most of the time your nervousity doesnt show even though you feel it, to the audience you look confident. I dont believe that! I still advocate for the environment though, but not through speech. Hehehe..which is not helpful!

Ive been working overtime this week and it has been full-on! Earning extra cash but working 12 hours..makes you feel so dead! I have another session tm..cant wait for the weekend. :) But I dont think I will do it...i dont like strutting in a bikini to prove that I am fighting for the environment..

Well, I have been to many presentations in the past several months. Students like me have had to give presentations based on their research/work in an independent study class. I have seen many people who were very nervous and know that they have trouble speaking in front of audiences, and I can tell you that it's really not apparent to the audience. Unless you begin suttering or repeating yourself, it's really not easy to see and people will always sympathize with you. So really, there is nothing to worry about. You're speaking to the people for a reason; they must be informed about something. They're not there to watch you turn into a vegetable and die. Don't take speeches to be all about you; they are about the topic at hand. Just some thoughts to help take the pressure off of you.

Thanks le_battlement!
Hi, thank you for your advice. I know I have to get rid of the anxiety and stop focusing on myself when I am presenting...but it is hard not to when many eyes stare at you all at once! I usually come off confident, no shaky hands or stuttering...but the redness! It's terrible.. I do pres at uni too...and have done so for soo many years, so I have had the practice but still I am not very confident. :/ I will try my best though to work on that for u have given me great advice :)
