glossophobia?

Assalamualaikum and peace be upon you and hello there!!

So today, I'd like to talk about glossophobia.


First of all, glossophobia is basically about the fear of public speaking. And I'm very sure many of you are having this phobia and find it hard to deal with public speaking or presentation.

For your information, I have this phobia since I  was in elementary school... As a pre-law student, I have to do so many presentations, and sometimes, debate. and...... everytime my lecturers ask us (the students) to prepare for presentations and debates and stuff, I feel like dying... LIKE ALL THE TIME.

hmm this is an accurate representation of my reaction everytime i hear the word "PRESENTATION" or "DEBATe"

I don't know why would I feel scared of it. During presentations, usually I'll tremble, and find it hard to remember what I'm supposed to talk about, and having a hard time to make an eye contact with everyone((even tho i know them very well lol))

I've tried so many times to overcome my fear, by joining competitions like public speaking since I was 10, but that fear just won't leave... >_> (i've been fighting with this fear for 7 years wew)

But I have no problem to dance in front of public hahahah idek but that's the problem. Speaking in front of public will kill my soul literally but dancing in front of public won't. eh eh o.O and i forgot to mention that my communication skills is below average lol. (i'm having this awkward relationship with everyone--- including my father.)

I'm just hoping that one day I can overcome this fear.. so that I won't flop during job interviews in the future.
