Ok so when im at school and im around my friends im fine speaking and all, but if im talking in front of groups or just random people i just blank out or say something stupid like, when the principal shook my hand and said congratulations i said," Nice to meet you." Is that normal?
MysticalSwirls answered Sunday May 2 2004, 7:29 pm: Well, Actually it is very common. What I do is I rehearse what I'm going to say before-hand if it is for a speech. You can also think about what you are going to say before you say it. After a while, you'll say what you wanted to say. Good LUCK!! [ MysticalSwirls's advice column | Ask MysticalSwirls A Question ]

Oops, you see, I just did it! ;) The truth is, your mind blanks out from nerves, you're probably a shyer person. Don't worry, just take a deep breath and concentrate on what's been said to you! :) [ foxshadow's advice column | Ask foxshadow A Question ]
Dark_Dutchess_of_the_Grav answered Tuesday April 27 2004, 5:05 pm: Yes, Its perfectly normal nothing wrong with going totally blank. You just get nervous about making mistake and you just might have a very hard time standing up in front of people and speaking everyone get it one time or another. When you know that you have to do a public speaking exercise just relax think about something else and when it's time to go up just don't think about messing up just think about how good of a job you'll do and go for it.

OR......
You need to talk about this to you parents and let them know you have problems with speech.
viviena answered Tuesday April 27 2004, 4:24 am: Oh, that's definitely normal; it happens to me a lot as well! Don't worry about it -- you're just nervous, and the principal, or anybody else for that matter, probably knows that you're feeling nervous. Besides, it seems like you're polite when you reply. :D [ viviena's advice column | Ask viviena A Question ]

Yeah, it's VERY normal. :) Your just nervous when that happens.
Cspinoza1 answered Monday April 26 2004, 11:15 pm: Yes its extremely normal for people to do that when they are talking with complete strangers or random people. Its like when your meeting a famous person for the first time everything you know that doesn't involve them kind of fades away and leaves you with saying something totally irrelevant. So yes people do tend to do what you are doing.
