Most people who have a fear of public speaking are afraid of making a mistake. They get really nervous because they don't want to look bad in front of a crowd. That makes them even more nervous which makes them feel like they are going to make a mistake. And this just gets worse over time. One piece of advice I like to give is to have people talk to strangers. I know this sounds weird but it works. Start by saying hello to a store clerk. You don't have to talk about anything else. But when you say hello, look them in the eye and really mean it. Say "Hello, how are you?". Once you have mastered that, you can try to continue the conversation. Ask them how their day is going. Soon you will be able to begin a conversation with a total stranger. Why this helps with public speaking is that it helps you control your fear of talking to people you don't know. It also gives you more confidence (in general) which can help you feel less afraid when you are in front of a crowd. And the less afraid you feel the more confident you become. And that goes on and on. Eventually you could learn to enjoy speaking in front of people. I hope this helps. Good luck and speak well! I can understand where you’re coming from.

I read your article and I have to say that I am extremely impressed. I hope you don't mind but I am going to write a short article and then put a link to your article in it. I think that it explains public speaking fear extremely well. I am also going to leave a comment on your site. Thanks. Dan Nick,
