What Causes Stage Fright And Fear of Public Speaking?

Summary:

• Triggered by two things: idea of perfection and judgmental fear
• Believe that ours is perfect; realize nothing is perfect and then are left with fear that ours isn't good enough.
• Presenting is high intensity emotions while having everyone's attention.
• Not a bad sign; sign of creative thoughts

Personal Thoughts:

I completely agree with what this article says and explains about being scared while presenting. I myself know that I get a little nervous when I present. To have the whole class look at you as you present can get a lttle nervous because you wnt to be able to keep their attention focused on you, If you notice them looking at their phones or whispering with their friends, your attitude changes and the high intensity emotions start to play a larger role.
