I can't control my nervous

take a deep breath focus and say to your self, that you can do it.. you should be confident..and it is started if you master your content for presentation.. and pray for God.. sometimes it`s not easy..i know it i feel the same too,but we know that we can do it..

I have heard this from someone that it is okay to be nervous. :) Nervousness means your feet is still grounded. When your nervous, you have a drive to study your presentation and be prepare well. I may suggest that be confident infront of people. Don't show your nervousness. Think that there is no people around. Another tip is that don't look directly in the eyes of the people.

Practice! is the only advice I can think of. Then just think of the others at the meeting as fans in your audience (at one of the smaller venues). Just--when you practice--make sure your speech covers everything you want to talk about (the Who, What, Where, When, Why & How---the 5WH).

Just take a deep breath and to something to yourself such as take it easy, everything will be all right. One more you should confident, then i hope you won't be nervous in the meeting or speaking in front of people anymore.

this is my problem few years before, but now i am okay with public speaking. I tried to speak in front of the mirror, this helped me upto some extent. For you, tis should not be the problem ,as you said, you do stage shows and are comfortable with it. so you can easily come out of it while speaking in public too. Hope you try it. great day ahead.

Getting nervous in meeting or speaking to an audience is a natural reaction for most of us. Fear of making or speaking the wrong words or topic usually gets into our nerves. Best attitude to overcome this fears is to come prepared. It's better to known your audience and what they expect from you. Take notes that you can use so you will stay in course with your main agenda, and best of all practice, practice, practice...

I am also having this problem when I am in front of many people. I just can't avoid getting nervous. No matter how I feel confident, once I am there standing in front of the crowd- I can't control my nervousness and getting tremble.

Honestly I think that the best way that you can overcome your anxiety when you are speaking in front of a group is to simple practice speaking in front of people. You see, there was a time in my life when I was painfully shy, but this was something that I was able to overcome when I was a young teenager because I had a teacher that saw the potential in me and encouraged me to join the school's speech team. I did this and over the course of a few months I overcame my shyness and actually qualified to compete in the state finals. From that point on I've always been able to speak in front of people. It is significantly easier to speak in front of people that I know, but I am able to speak in front of complete strangers as well.

Bear in mind that feeling nervous is very normal. Every person who is expecting something new like delivering a speech would feel this. Even seasoned speakers have this feeling too, but the rule is, never show it. You have to learn to act and behave in a way that won't make you show your jitters. Take a deep breath before going to the front and tell yourself that everything is going to be okay. Most of all, be ready. Prepare before you go up the stage or before attending that meeting that needs your presentation. Preparation is the best way to handle one's nervousness. Not being ready or prepared will double your nervousness. Good luck to you!

it depends on the age and experiences. can you please mention your age, and family situation(well or sad) then we can give best response to you.

I can relate here, since I'm like you but I'm fighting it everyday. But I believe, I can manage this in time. See, I'm part of a management team and I'm obliged to speak out, what's my point of view to something relevant. As i can see it, we should expose ourselves more to those kind of affairs. And think that, there is no harm if we try our best. Constant practice makes almost perfect. Good luck to us. Thanks

Hi tedifa... I just recently learned that we have to wiggle our toes when we are nervous. It will send message to our whole body to relax. That is what my trainer advised me. It is hard to wiggle your toes when you are wearing closed shoes but you have to. It will lessen your anxiety. Also if the place where you will be presenting is very cold, make sure to bring jacket because the chilliness will add up to your nervousness and it will be hard to control your shaking.. Good luck to you and have fun with your presentation!

I think that problem will disappear over time. I had this problem too. But, I've started to speak in front of a small public. Then, the number of people in front me increased. Suddenly I noted that my fear for a public it's gone.

Dude, i understand how you feel. I've been through that kind of feeling for such a long time. I'm glad I was able to manage it. All I did was relax and try to do a few sets of "inhale and exhale" until you feel the muscles on your neck and check relax. I also precondition my mind a few minutes before I do my discussions in front of a crowd by thinking that those bunch of guys out there will surely be in "awe", hehehe

I have full empathy for you, I understand, I suffer with anxiety and for me talking in public is a big no no, and something I would avoid, when I was younger I was once told that if you picture the people in the interview, meeting etc being naked then it takes the pressure off, weird I know! They are only people the same as us and the trouble is when you have meetings or have to speak in front of others there is only one of you and more of them.

Hello, there are many trainings you can take online, i took one its called presentation dynamic and it helped me a lot, to speak infront of an audience, to address someone, to walk on the floor and raise a topic and even answer to questions. Find some online courses.

I think you confidence is loose or something different problem why feel nervousness. If any problem leave for some time and face the meeting. Positive thinking and confidence are most important in any case.

Hi friend, Be bold and consider the audience as your friends, surely you will get the ability to give public speech with out the nervous, not only you most of the people who is good in speech don't have the ability to express their real talent in front of the public due to their stage fear, we must come out from this fear and express oure real talent and skills to others

Im that way as well. I have no problems talking to 3 or 4 people. But any more makes me nervous. never understood why.

It happened to me when i was in high school..how if you sing loudly in public..try to get the courage. .perform in public or side of street...when you get it..try to perform on stage without audience.. About meeting...i believe you need to build up self-confidence about your own performance..dont think what people will think and judge..you are the best when you are you :)
