If you told me 5 minutes before I was about to go on stage, I think I would have a panic attack. Oh, I would definitely stutter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-129366 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:22:14 +0000 looch 129366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get nervous anymore, a coworker once told me that I know the subject matter better than anyone in the room, so no one's going to stump me with a question. </p> <p>That totally boosted my confidence! I wouldn't say it's my preferred way to spend a day, but there are worse things out there for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-129356 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:20:19 +0000 Alivoo01 129356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. I get nervous no matter though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128926 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:29:40 +0000 cupcakemama 128926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I quite enjoy it! This is good as I am a teacher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128859 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:38:52 +0000 sulli301 128859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I took a lot of speech classes &amp; was usually the presenter for college lecture class presentations which really has helped me out later in life. I am one of those people who would rather give a speech infront of 500 people than 5!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128840 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:12:17 +0000 Andrea 128840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I used to be on the speech and debate team. Well, ages ago, but I know that I am not afraid of public speaking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128839 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:10:47 +0000 Meridian 128839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrified! My face and ears turn red and hot... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128748 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:20:00 +0000 heffalump 128748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: that's why we had such a small ceremony. My dh wanted a big wedding and at first I said ok, but then thinking about a big wedding and a big white dress made me cry. So he said we'd have a small wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128738 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:12:33 +0000 808love 128738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128731 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:06:21 +0000 banana 128731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: *shudder*. That would freak me out too! I had a panick attack walking down the aisle, with all of our guests watching me! I hate being the center of attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128729 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:05:35 +0000 heffalump 128729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It terrifies me. Sunday is lo's naming and my rabbi keeps asking if ill talk. No way! I said I didn't want to talk at our wedding ceremony which had 30 people, but he still asked if I changed my mind.... when we were already standing under the chuppah! I almost passed out thinking he was going to make me talk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128722 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:44:48 +0000 Maysprout 128722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm fine with it. I've given lots of presentations and taught college kids so I'm used to it. My old advisor was of the opinion of being tougher then anyone else would ever be during a presentation to get us prepared. While sometimes he'd tick me off with his in your faceness, it definitely has made me pretty calm about being able to handle criticism if it comes along while I'm presenting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128721 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:42:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 128721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I think I am just naturally comfortable speaking in front of people. I am pretty confident and just learned that I love it after I took public speaking 101 freshman year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128717 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:38:15 +0000 lilteacherbee 128717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it! I would dread project presentations in college for weeks and it happened A LOT because I was an education major. Now I can talk all day long to a class of 4 year olds and their parents, but most other situations...ack I hate it so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128714 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:36:45 +0000 chopsuey 128714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I don't love it, but I don't hate it either.<br /> I've done a loooooot of presentations so speaking in public doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128699 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:18:10 +0000 banana 128699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsdaredevil: OMG, how do you do it?? Did you take classes or you're just naturally comfortable in front of crowds? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128696 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:15:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 128696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way, I love it!<br /> I don't get the opportunity to do it often but in college I used to love giving speeches and presentations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-afraid-of-public-speaking#post-128695 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:13:59 +0000 banana 128695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HATE public speaking. Even if it's in front of a small crowd, i get nervous as heck! I envy people who are comfortable speaking in front of large crowds. I think my career would excel so much faster if I can get over my fear of public speaking. </p>
