This is a definite problem for someone who makes their living talking in front of groups of people. My uneducated guess is you have a form of stage fright or performance anxiety.

None of us are doctors or psychologists and a psychologist is who you need to help you get over stage fright or performance anxiety. As someone in a related field of employment I am called upon at times to speak in front of small to large groups of people. There are times when I will suffer from anxiety and have to push through it as there was no one to take my place.

When this happens I will try to find a friendly face in the crowd and talk directly to him or her. It generally helps get me through my presentation. It seemed that talking directly to that person who appears to be friendly eased the tension I had of speaking to a group of shall we say unreceptive people.

Then there is of course the old standby of picturing everyone in the room naked except yourself. I've tried this, it helped but it was not as good as finding that friendly face.

What really helps is being prepared. Knowing whatever it is you are presenting cold. Being prepared for any and all questions that might be asked. Part of performance anxiety, especially in front of peers, is looking as if you do not know the subject matter.

The only other thing I can recommend is seeing a psychologist for help in identifying the stress that causes your anxiety. Once truly identified the psychologist can help you find a better way of dealing with it.
