I am in my Senior year of college and am still terrified of public speaking. I have weaseled my way around having to give a lot of presentations by taking classes that do not require it. However, to graduate, I must take a class next semester that focuses public speaking. Everyone else seems to be able cope with the anxieties of public speaking really well. I, on the other hand, crash the plane into the mountain every time. I never look at the crowd because I cannot imagine giving any eye contact. I read directly from notecards because I am unable to think with such high levels of anxiety. I shake and forget to breathe. (....and one time I cried) please help! how do I prepare for the next semester?
