"The problem is, whenever I present, I feel just overwhelming anxiety. I get the general stage fright symptoms: shaking, sweating, everything." Justin

"The worst part of the stage fright is the blanking. I will start to say something, but I’ll lose the word I’m trying to use, and then the overwhelming silence puts pressure on me to just blurt something out. It becomes a vicious cycle of anxiety and stage fright." Lydia

"Every time I speak, I find myself crippled by really awful stage fright. I’m talking throwing up before the presentation and hands/legs shaking so bad on stage that I can hardly stand up." Teresa
