[@mybubbles5552]

This speech made me a bit emotional. I really related to it. I've struggled with extreme shyness my whole life. Any social situation makes me want to hide or cry. Talking to anyone including my own family members can make me so nervous that my voice shakes and all the thoughts fall out of my head. Public speaking is almost impossible for me. I've had to give 5-10 minute speeches in college and I start shaking so much it's hard for others to understand what I'm saying. I feel like I'm the version of this man who is scared and wanted to stay at his covert zone but my comfort zone means not leaving the house. I'm not okay with that. I don't want that to be my future. I have to change because my life depends on it. I'm going to rewatch this speech as many times as I need to until I can gain some confidence. This man really does put things into perspective. I'm still nervous and my heart is pounding about all the speaking that I'll be doing tonight but after listening to this I can say that I'm embracing the challenge! I'm scared but I'm not giving up.

[@AnimeshGupta01]

Glad you could relate to this! I would recommend taking small steps, before a full public speech. Sometimes the physiological reactions are too strong; I would suggest trying medication along with self-motivation - as a last resort.

[@mybubbles5552]

“What are you afraid of?” Passing out cold on stage, voice shaking, trembling like a drug addict, forgetting everything I had to say, dying of total humiliation... yeah, that sums up the small problems.

Last week all of a sudden I had to present on stage a poem that I wrote on my own . I literally shivered on stage. The judges asked me why am I so tensed.. the whole crowd laughed including the camera man...I couldn't sleep the whole night...I really want to improve myself and give a better performance next time.

I watched this before I had to go speak in front of my church, so about 100 people. as I walked up, I felt relaxed and my voice was a little shaky but I did it and I know I could’ve done better. the thing is though, people aren’t judging you on the small things. even though my voice shaked, a dozen people told me I sis so well and I have such confidence and poise. what we sound like in our heads is not always what other people are hearing and noticing . if you have a speech coming up or presentation , respond to this comment and i’ll try to give you advice relating to your situation! remember to believe in yourself and focus on success, not failure.

This actually gave me goosebumps, i felt like i am the inconfident guy scared of public speaking, even my hands are shaking while writing this. All i can say is, trust me guys, it gets easier by the time and in case it doesnt your personality becomes tougher. So, choose to act strong and overcome what you have been afraid of and you will set an example not for others but atleast yourself. Cuz, you are great and you want to end up great.

I am a hardcore Introvert and face this issue of public speaking almost all the time. And hell, the only thought which surrounds my head is "oh god, what exactly will people think of me?". Nonetheless, all thanks to you, I think I have finally able to overcome this fear and will do much better from now onward. Thank you Sir. It was such a great pleasure and a wonderful experience seeing you speaking about exactly the same problems which is there in my head all the time. -An Introvert, soon going to be a conqueror, Shiva

[@KeepTalkingRomania]

When you type "public speaking anxiety" you get a lot of this "motivational" discourses where people of all types are giving pieces of advices on how to overcome this anxiety, how to fight it and be successful.I think that what everyone forgets is that for most of those people dealing with this the problem is deeply rooted and it's not something that you can overcome by seeing this speeches or by practicing.I have been trying in the last 10 years to overcome the anxiety with no success, I've been doing cognitive therapy, I attended public speaking trainings, I gave 5-10 presentations and every single time I had huge anxiety and a big depression afterwards.Even today I have big problems when it comes to delivering a presentation and i have to consume large quantities of energy just for another failure and depression.The problem is not with the anxiety, some people are born this way or they "get ill" during their first years of life, thus the problem will never be solved. The only solution is to change the environment with a new one that is not worsening your anxiety...

[@TheManChise]

I have to give a speech in my public speaking class (forced to take it) in a couple weeks and i'm so scared. I know i'm gonna screw up because i had to give a presentation in my English class earlier in the year and it was terrible. What gets me is when everybody in the class starts looking at me and its all quiet, and I don't why but I my heart just started pumping insanely fast and hard (never felt something like that up until that point, it freaked me out), I began to sweat all over and get hot, and I almost began crying in front of everyone. Luckily I was able to get through because I had a paper to look to and read during the presentation. But now what makes this next speech worse is that I have to memorize it, and I'm getting graded for HOW I give the speech, its a public speaking class after all. I honestly think I may pass out during the speech in front of the whole class, no joke..... just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt :(

[@successwithsadhguru4327]

I had run away so many times from my college and still I am struggling but have figured it out a lot.When I was 10 years old I was given the opportunity to present a poem in large audience. I got nervous, shaky and couldn’t finish that off. From that moment of life to 2017 April, I always escaped the presentations or speeches. I met Sadhguru on 2017 April at Excel London and learned Shambhavi from him and doing it regularly. Now I feel much better and much confidence. I have spoken few times in group meeting and I have no fear or less fear of anything including death. 🙏🙏🙏😍 My life is owe to Sadhguru.

[@ronanderson1023]

Great presentation. I went through the process in my mind, and I was shivering just thinking about it. I left my last school year, the year i have to pass to go to university. I had a weak time because of some stuff, but the thing that made me left was because of a few presentations in front of my class, but mainly because of the end-year exam presentation. Allthough i still think that it is an ugly thing to put a student through this in the most important year, where you have so much to do, so many lifechanging things, it is so important to not hide, not give up, because of a fear of public speaking. I had moments when i could barely talk, my heart pumping so much that i felt a ridiculous pressure in my neck and my head, i heard my heart. Uncontrollable shaking and stutering, disgusting. But as he says, you should NOT run away from this, for me, it almost cost me my life, socially, my partner and many other things. This year i get my second chance at the age of 26, do my last year and finally go study. I realize how big of a chance i've got here instead of beeing miserable. I train myself to look at problems as opportunities to grow, oppuortunities to grow. Don't hide, don't waste your life! I hope somebody feels a motivated. I'm sure i'm not the only one in this situation. Don't throw you life away, it is worth fighting for. I wish you guys reading this and watching these kinds of videos all the best! You'll do it!

[@birdylovesyou5667]

When he said people aren't judging you on your English but your confident that just made me feel more confident

[@nishitpaul4734]

The method he used to explain his talk made the whole situation easily understanble, very unique way of delivering in a Ted talk, a must watch video

[@DivyanshBatham]

Great Speech Animesh Sir :D I just want to share this with you (yes you! the one who is reading this) This speech really motivated me, now I want to face the audience ~ whatever may be the consequences of my speech Nobody is going to stop me from speaking in front of audience because I want to be a perfect speaker at the end of my engg.

[@durgabuddala7220]

Mr. Gupta you nailed it....... it's really help us.......

[@etsout]

This eight year old video is the best fear of public speaking presentation I've ever seen. They should show this to every level of student, elementary age to college students.

[@ankitsrivastava9862]

it really touched the core of my heart, the point that you mentioned, gunpoint at your head...now this thought will always give me strength to face up the crowd and speak irrespective of ending up making mistakes, fumbling sentences and trembling hands, inspite of all these i was able to save my parents life from that gunshot...because i spoke😊 Thankyou

[@juventusventuno9213]

my trick: smile. have fun. and I say to myself: "knock it out of the park!" (baseball analogy)

[@AnimeshGupta01]

hahaha Btw, thanks for watching the video!

[@prudencedantye9297]

Wow, I'm so inspired...I'm going for it! " You wanna lough at me, go ahead because frankly, I don't really care about this audience. I care about what I'm going to be 10 years from now. What I'm going to think of my self 10 years from now. You know what, bring it on!!!"

[@ishworshrestha3559]

Ok

[@poojamankhedkar6776]

OMG ! This video was just too amazing I can soo relate to it Thank you Animesh for speaking and giving me the courage to speak up ! Salute to you !!

[@rainycloud7328]

Thank u so much for this! I'm aspiring to be a teacher but my fear of public speaking has been making me doubt everything. I feel like now I face it full force!!

[@archujdv886]

I can't believe on it this person who were actually what he show himself at the beginning whatever presents reason of fear, anxiety, butterflies in stomach etc are such things which I also facing off but I'm really gonna try this for me ..thank you so much

[@revitellect3129]

That was really amazing. Inspirational video. I always get fears about the next video I'm going to make: "Is it going to do well?", "What if its too boring?", "What if nobody watches?", etc. But thinking about the opposite - not making any videos and then living a life of regret of 'What if...?' - that isn't for me. I don't have a particular fear of public speaking but have other fears that hinder me. Thanks for this video. Needed it. :)

You're welcome, ReVitellect!

[@octavialea9886]

Great! I am starting to think this way myself now and watching this helped to reinforce the idea. I am starting to not even care if my nerves mess me up completely! Now I am watching this girl in my classes fake illnesses and walk away from presentations, its like watching my former self!

[@AnimeshGupta01]

+Octavia Lea Wow, that's great!! (Y)

[@octavialea9886]

Great I hope everything goes well which I am sure it will! Before I posted this I had not done a presentation but was getting ready to after a long time avoiding the situation. I did it with the girl I was referring to as a group project. We were both terrified! I was right she almost didn't make it nor did I haha. We both got up and it went well and we got to feel the best feeling after ward! Like a heavy weight lifted and it was great. The level of fear I felt was horrendous but I had got to the point where the feeling of not doing it was worse, no increase in confidence really just a do or die kind of feeling he explains here. I have worked so hard towards my degree and to let slip out of my hands because of something so minor was killing me inside. Please spend sometime visualising yourself being successful and the feeling of accomplishment after, really feel it as if you have done it. Good luck! :)

[@oussamaamiche3163]

[@AnimeshGupta01]
