    Public speaking, I could wake up in my underwear in front of 10,000 people and comfortably talk about anything Im informed about. I dont get the fear at all.

      I can understand not sharing the fear response, but do you really mean you don’t get it? Like, having thousands of people waiting on your every word and silently judging you on every tiny mistake, or the nervous tics that you do and don’t even know about?

      Thinking about it, maybe by “get” the fear, I think you’re saying it doesn’t happen to you. I gotta say I envy you for that.

        No nervousness at all. Anything that’s going to happen will happen and worrying will change nothing. The only thing I care about is not giving incorrect information. The larger the crowd the easier it is.
