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 don't like speaking in front of people I don't know well. Period. My public speaking class was the worst and I don't know how I managed to get through it. We even had to video tape all our speeches and my peers viewed them and critiqued what needed to be worked on. I managed to get a B+ so I guess I wasn't that bad.

I absolutely hate watching myself on tape. It's embarassing! I must get out of the room at any time that I see myself on a video, especially in front of my family and friends.I used to get the dry mouth thing all the time, so I chew gum before-hand hoping it'll prevent it.
