Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. There are many different fears that people can have; either rational or irrational that can come about from a traumatizing moment. Some people are afraid of things like: Bugs (spiders), heights, the dark, thunderstorms, etc. There are countless amounts of fears out there in the world. Everybody is afraid of one thing or another, what are you afraid of?
One of my biggest fears is public speaking. Not stage fright per say because I am totally fine with performing a Synchro routine in front of people, though. I just get really nervous when I have to present a project in front of the class that I tend to stutter and loose my train of thought. The fear is getting better I do have to admit, but it’s still an issue.
I tell this story to most people when I talk about my fear; I had an English presentation last year where I was so scared that my knees started to shake, and throughout the whole entire presentation I was stuttering like a maniac and got lost reading the paper I had to help me. That was probably the worst case of my fear.
Something that did help me a little bit though was drama class. It got me to open up and relax a bit when I was speaking. It helped me because somehow I was able to convince my history teacher that I wasn’t nervous, when actually I was freaking out inside.
So, what are your fears? And how do try and get over them? If you are comfortable with sharing, feel free to comment!
