How do you face your fears?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Giving public speeches was and still is my most unfun thing to do. I prepare, then prepare some more….review what I prepared, maybe ask another what they think of my preparations and then prepare even more. I usually pull things off without a hitch that way. In essence I over prepare and thankfully there are very few things I am afraid of so I don’t have to go through that stressful strenuous process often.
