10 being you'd rather get fired or fail before you give a presentation or a speech in front of people
1 being you don't mind it at all, actually you enjoy it
 
I enjoy it. In uni, I was the guy in the group (projects etc.) that always ended up doing the presentations, so my fear was kinda forced away. I used to hate it but now I don't mind. Voted: 2

i actually passed out when i gave my senior research presentation in college, i just ffreeked out in front of like 100 or so people, and fell over
 
Study after study has shown public speaking is the thing most people fear more than anything else.

I used to be extremely uncomfortable but like anything else, it gets easier with practice. The Toastmasters organization does a good job of helping people learn how to do it better.

I used to be a 9 but now it's more like a 3, and that's because I've done it a lot of times.

About a 9. I'll do it if there is no other alternative (like throwing a chair through a plate glass window to escape).

that wasent the first time it has happened

pretty much if i have to talk to a group of more then 10-15 people im gonna have some serious issues
 
Never had a problem with public speaking.

Seems like I've always been nominated to do the speaking in groups since I younger. You just get used it after a while.

so what your really trying to say is.....your a master debator?

haha j/k😀


I had a public speaking class last semester and it wasn't too bad. I voted 3.

 
I gave it a 9.

Ten years ago it would have been a 10, but the older I get the less I give a fvck what people think of me.

 
3 - it doesn't really bother me until about a minute or two before I start speaking then I get anxious wanting it to start. weird....
 
I'd say 3. I'm in Advanced Public Speaking class right now and I'm extremely comfortable in front of groups. I'll post a vid cap of me speaking a few weeks ago in class.
 
Hmm, I'd say 4 or 5.....Not one of my favorite things to do but I'm not compeltely terrified or anything. Pretty nervous before and at the start of speaking but loosen up a bit once started.
