When I was younger I used to do a lot of plays and musicals. I was always, and remain to be, very outgoing, so being able to talk in front of a large audience wasn't really a big deal. However, as eighth grade came around I fond it harder and harder to give presentations in class. I think this was partially out of learning about the world around me, learning that there was so much outside of myself that it made me feel less significant and made me realize how much I did not know. I'm assuming this is the reason I don't enjoy public speaking, because I know that there is usually someone out there who knows more than me and think I am a complete idiot for saying what I just did.
What I try to do to get myself to stop being so apprehensive is to think that maybe no one is really paying attention anyways, and if they are that they wont correct me but if they do then they're a jerk anyways and I shouldn't care about what they think of me. Not that I should care about what anyone thinks of me, but that is a completely different blog, now isn't it?
