How do you feel about: Public Speaking

[DeathsHand]

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.
