Fear Case

Throughout life people face many issues, which may cause them to feel nervous or anxious. The reason people become nervous towards something is because they have the mindset that they will mess up of considered a failure. In my experiences the feeling of being nervous went away when I began doing whatever I was nervous of at first.

A time when I was nervous was during high school. We had to research on a specific topic and do a ten to fifteen minute presentation in class. Hearing this made dislike the project and even school, I just wasn't the type of person that could be a public speaker. I remained nervous throughout the whole weeks until the presentation date came. I just kept thinking about all the negatives such as I would mess up or my voice wouldn't sound as good just small things that I knew others wouldn't take notice of. I really couldn't take it easy it interfered with my life greatly

I had always had a fear of public speaking throughout my whole life and even now. I just get that feeling of nervousness before speaking in front of a group of people I don't know and sometimes people who I do know. If I do some type of presentation front of my really close really close friends I wouldn't have the same problem as I would front of strangers.

Eventually the time came for the presentation. In my mind I didn't care about the grade I got I just wanted to get it over with and finally be able to relax. I tried to think about good thoughts that would make feel better such as nobody will be listen or notice or pretend nobody was there. As the time came closer for my turn to present my heart was beating faster. Then finally it came my turn I got up with confidence and began speaking to the class. I was a little shaky at first with my intro after a while being used to the environment all the fear was gone and I did not feel any pressure or nervousness. I went through my whole presentation with ease and everyone clapped in the end. After the presentation I felt the best feeling in the world being free with none of the pressure that I had endure for the last weeks it was finally over. I felt it wasn't so bad to speak front of the class I had gotten overwhelmed for nothing. I still get that feeling of nervousness before any presentation even though I had spoke a couple of times I think part of the reason is public speaking isn't part of my daily routine.
