MY WEAKNESS IS MY UNABILITY TO TALK

MY WEAKNESS IS MY UNABILITY TO TALK

 

I am so scared of standing infront of people

It doesn’t matter how many people are there

My body starts to be so hot

That I can’t even breath well

My voice cracks as if I’m gonna cry

I just can’t stand a huge crowd

Their eyes seem like some sort of creatures

Staring at me like they will jump up at my face

I burn so hot to a point

Where I feel like I am going to faint

This thing gets me especially during presentations

I just freeze and wish that the ground will open and swallow me whole

I remember this other time

I was doing one of my presentations

Looked up for tips on the internet

Thought I had it all and I was ready

But to my surprise, my mind went blank

Got scared of the people

Sweat was running as a waterfall in my body

I felt like I was gonna die

Don’t know how I got out of that hell

I just wish I was a normal person

Like other people be doing this thing as if it’s a small task

Whereas to me it’s a huge one

I can even practice for a month but

I would still be nervous

        Do you have to do this often?
        A lot of people only have to talk one-to-one.

          Not often, probably twice a month

          • orchidee

            How many people do you have to talk in front of?
