Understanding the Fear of Public Speaking
Many people have a fear of public speaking, as it activates our deep-rooted concern for our status relative to others. Evolution has wired us to be cautious about our social standing, as lower status could jeopardize our survival. This fear of judgment and assessment when speaking in front of others is intrinsic to our human condition. However, while it is part of who we are, we can learn to manage our nerves and anxiety to feel less nervous and more confident. Additionally, reducing anxiety as a speaker benefits the audience by allowing them to focus on the message rather than the speaker's nervousness.
