I think as I grow older, I gain more confidence in myself. When I was a kid, I hated to go on stage and speak in front of a crowd. I still dislike it, but I know I will have to overcome this fear. In fact, I realized that it is not the presentation itself that gets to me, but the anticipation of going up that gives me the chills. On stage, I just go with the flow, I don't quite feel as nervous as when I am sitting there, waiting to go.
So next time I have a presentation, I think I'll volunteer to go first. Everyone else is just as worried, why should I be afraid? They aren't better than I am, so I have nothing to be afraid of. Next time, I will carry this mentality into my future presentation/public speaking.
