Here it is in a nutshell: It sounds like you have a fear of man issue, but the key is to care more about what God says and thinks than what people say and think. No one can make you feel anything without you allowing it. You have the control to walk up to people and start a conversation or stand in front of your class without worrying about what they think. It's when you give them the control do you find yourself in the postion to worry.
If you have a relationship with God through His son Jesus, you can rest assured in Him. Be courageous. Courage does not mean you won't feel afraid. You may feel nervous. But rather courage is stepping out in spite of the fear. And no matter what happens, give the results to God. [ mylordwon's advice column | Ask mylordwon A Question ]

But for me what I talk in front of my class, I just focus on what I'm saying instead of the people in front of me. I'm not sure how to describe it fully..but I just kinda loose myself. I don't think about what people think of me. I just get the job done and sit down and congradulate myself in my mind, haha. And even laughing and making jokes before the presentation, to loosen yourself up, can help. If the class doesn't laugh at your jokes, screw them..at least you thought it was funny right? And when you're out in public. Bring your friends you can be yourself around. My best friend and all of our really good friends hang out, and we have a blast, we don't care what people think. We care about what WE think of the fun time we're having. Just focus on the good parts, and you'll be set hunny. [ missmanda's advice column | Ask missmanda A Question ]

you just need to realize that all these people that your worried about are just people like you. they have just as many weakneses and flaws. your only human.no ones above or below you so just do what you gotta do and dont worry about it. [ illdomybest's advice column | Ask illdomybest A Question ]
FrEe2bMe answered Sunday September 10 2006, 1:51 am: First, focus on what makes YOU happy--not other people. Be proud of who you are and what you have to offer. Being confident doesn't have to mean being cocky. Compliment yourself. Be positive. Everytime you think or say a ngative thought about yourself, say 2 positive things in place of them. Also, you may want to try places sticky notes around your house in places you will walk by with positive notes on it. Give yourself a new look. Get a new outfit. Practice giving a speech in front of your mirror so you can see how you will look, or better yet, practice in front of close friends and family. When you BELIEVE in yourself, others will too. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
