Do you have a fear of public speaking?

If you are afraid of public speaking, you’re not alone. According to Psycom, it is estimated that 75% of all people experience anxiety or nervousness to some degree when it comes to public speaking. Reactions can range from slight nervousness to paralyzing fear and panic, and many people are so afraid that they avoid public speaking altogether or else suffer through the experience with sweaty, shaking hands and a quivering voice. Also known as glossophobia or speech anxiety, Wikipedia defines it as a feeling of nervousness, dread, and concern that is accompanied by a feeling of discomfort.
