Have you ever wanted the world to open up after giving a talk?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I am absolutely terrified of public speaking. To such a degree, I literally have panic attacks. I lose track of what I am saying, I look weird and I feel like everyone is looking at me like I am mad. I avoid at all costs. It’s said to be part of The Social Phobia disorder. I am fine in other situations. Although if I am honest I do suffer anxieties with different things. Which I was never aware of. Like going out, meeting new people or groups or crowds. But I have mastered it so, no one can tell. I think a lot of my aggressive behavior comes from anxiety with people. I only know all this since I watched a documentary on it recently. I must comment and say you write very well for a dead person? Not sure though, what you meant by expect the world to open up? Yes I expect great cheers and things loll.
