really bad nerves


Question Posted Thursday June 19 2008, 5:38 pm

16/f

Okay I get nervous very easily, and when I give reports in school my hands start to shake and I talk really fast. What I'm asking is there anyway to improve my nerves? I really need to because the career I went to pursue (lawyer) requires a lot of talking, and I can't be doing that in court lol, very unprofessional! Help!

Heyyy

im sorry to hear about this

im 16 years old and i suffer with the same thing i shake when i talk and sometimes dont go out for days with anxiety


Have you ever seeked a councellor?

there really helpful and honestly deteriate your anxiety and nerves

Obv you will always feel nervous but its about controlling it and getting better

Try talking with a friend about how you and her / him could go out for the day maybe meet some new people if your with someone you trust its always helpful or write down how you feel and let people read it . then they will understand you better and not rush into things

your not alone and if you ever need to talk

even though im young add me on msn dizzy-dancer92@hotmail.com


good luck! x

Warning: the following statement is a cliche:
Everyone is nervous about speaking in front of others.

Okay, now for the TRUTH, from someone who has lived it: When you have experience talking in front of people, and when you are CONFIDENT and KNOW you subject matter, it's MUCH easier to talk in front of people, because you speak with AUTHORITY, and authority is king in the public forum.

So, the ugly, icky solution to your problem is, unfortunately: You need to seek out opportunities to speak in front of people! It isn't just a matter of getting comfortable with the uncomfortable: the real gift is when you find your "voice", and speak through that voice when you are speaking publicly. That voice is a reflection of your confidence, which springs from your mastery of the subject. So, the first step is to master the subject, and the second step is to practice expounding on that subject. Speak publicly whenever you can. It's a habit like anything else.

I think you should get proffesional help.
See a doctor and see if it's anything serious.
If it's not I'm sure the doctor will give you some good tips.

Sorry I can't give you any better advice but I hope I helped.

take deep breathes. my teacher taught me this one trick, instead of looking them straight in the eye (people tend to laugh or get even more scared if they do) just look at the top of their heads.

I use to have the same problem.Back when i was in chorus we had to do singing tests(one person goes infront of the class at a time and sings) and it was the worst thing ever to me.What i did was just pretend noone there or just stare at the back wall rather than at the people.Although if you want to be a lawyer it's pretty important to have eye contact.The best thing i can tell you is to just do your best and take deep breathes.Hope this helps!
