I remember in this one Seinfeld episode, in his opening monologue he says that according to a national poll, more people are afraid of public speaking than death itself. He joked that that means that a funeral, most would rather be in the coffin than doing the eulogy.
 How afraid are you with public speaking, and what's so frightening? I talk a lot IRL, it's kind of ridiculous. I can go on and on and on, even during a timed presentation. I used to be so shy around adults, but now I love public speaking. Powerpoint presentations are  .

I get so nervous if I'm presenting something, you'll see me sweating and shaking and repeating words over and over. I hate speaking in front of a large crowd, doing it is so scary.

I always have to bring a bottle of water along. |
