How interesting that I got to learn there’s actually a term for public speaking from this post!
You see, this is something that isn’t discussed as often as it should be, and I honestly don’t know why since so many people struggle with it. While the fear of speaking in front of a crowd can be excused as a child, it becomes a real challenge when you’re an adult who still can’t get past it. How do you then advocate for a good cause in public? How do you show up for yourself and seize opportunities that require speaking to others?
These are questions I often ask myself, especially now that the world seems to favor those who can speak up in public spaces. Introverts barely get the opportunity to just be themselves anymore, and I wonder what that means for people still struggling with this fear. Regardless, I’m really glad you’re working on it and I’m genuinely rooting for you.
