How do you feel about: Public Speaking

[Angrist]

I'm still pretty nervous, but I like it. Especially when you really have a good story prepared, that's very important. See it like this: you know a lot more about the topic than your audience does and you want to tell them the interesting stuff. Even when you don't know everything, just tell them you don't know but that you can look it up for them.

I'm kinda like angrist.. but I like being on the stage, the nerviousness will always be there, just have to fight it lol. It only sucks when I'm put on the spot with no time to prepare, or if I was too lazy to prepare correctly in the first place.

Well considering its my job, I kind of dig it.

I can't even handle private speaking... Can't think of what to say, can't focus, can't form the words, my brain gets too far ahead of my mouth and I stumble and mumble and stutter and mutter and generally appear nervous and confused...

And that's when I'm having a 1 on 1 conversation with someone I know. Win.

Last time I was in a position to do a bit of "public speaking" was back in 6th grade when we were reading book reports... I refused to read mine in front of the class, and opted to read it privately to the teacher after school for a penalty of a whole grade level.

I personally liked public speaking.
I'd take it as a chance to make subtle pot-shots at classmates.
