Before and during presenting something in front of class, playing the piano, or doing a skit, I start breathing really heavily, sweating, blushing, stuttering, and shaking. For some reason, these are less common when I’m in front of a large group, and they are strong when I’m in front of a small group. I enjoy going up and talking, presenting, and performing things, but it becomes less enjoyable when I start getting really nervous. I want to be able to feel comfortable and confident in front of others, but even the thought of going standing in front makes me feel nervous.
