Statistics and symptoms of Speech Anxiety and solutions to ease The Fear of Public Speaking.
Public speaking is considered the greatest fear a person can have. Some who have been called to speak in public act as if they’ve seen a ghost. Pale stares, Sweating, and Nausea. They are truly Terrified to Talk.
According to StatisticBrain.com and the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 75% of Americans are afraid of Public Speaking. It’s called Glossophobia…and this anxiety is more common than the fear of darkness, spiders or even death.
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld used to joke that, “at a funeral, most people would rather be lying in the casket than delivering the eulogy.”
Even experienced speakers and trainers who have years of experience speaking in front of audiences still deal with this anxiety to a degree.
Someone who is truly terrified to talk may suffer increased blood pressure and heartbeat, excessive sweating, stiffening of neck and upper back muscles, dry mouth, blanking out, memory loss, nausea and sometimes difficulty breathing. Other symptoms are more subtle.
The fear of public speaking may arise early in childhood- in the classroom where the student nervously prays that the teacher doesn’t call on him to answer a question.
It can happen in the workplace where the manager experiences panic attacks at the thought of making a presentation to her superiors.
It can happen at home where the jobseeker becomes emotionally distraught before going on a job interview.
It can happen at a party where the possibility of meeting someone new is curtailed by butterflies in the stomach and sweaty palms.
Indeed, the fear of speaking in public causes countless people to miss out on academic, social, and career opportunities.
