I am in this project group for one of my classes in college. There is 3 HB's and 2 other guys. Whenever the group meets up, I have this crippling fear that barely allows me to speak. I feel so intimdated by the other men in the group and it makes me look really weak and beta. Obviously this is an unhealthy fear that I have. My mind keeps telling me that embarrasement that I used to experience will occur again.
Next week our group has to do a presentation for the class and I am scared shitless. I keep thinking I will fumble over my words and not be very articulate. Because that is what used to happen to me.
Have you guys ever felt like this before? If you have, what did you do to overcome it?
Thanks!
The worst thing that can happen here is you start your speech and some people think "He's nervous". If they are paying attention at all, which they probably aren't really.
You will find that, however bad you think you are at it, that public speaking becomes easier towards the end of the speech. By that time, everyone will have forgotten the start. Some women may actually be impressed that you overcame your nerves (I've observed this a few times) and delivered. They may be nervous themselves and actually identify with you, women are good with empathy.
Remember, you have to do something really extraordinary for any one to remember anything you do. Your embarassment is mostly in your own mind. People are fundamentally quite selfish and generally not that interested in what other people are doing except when it affects them.
If you have real trouble with delivery, use some basic speech therapy advice. Use a subtle musical-type of delivery for your first few sentences, as it is impossible to stutter when singing. An alternative is to make the first few sentences direct and attention-getting, almost angry. It is impossible to stutter when angry (maybe get a little annoyed at your stupid fears about public speaking).
But, really, you are probably just overstating the problem to yourself.
