Public speaking
Some are fine with it while others find it daunting. Where do you fall in on the scale?
I'm not a huge fan of it if I'm doing all by myself. If it's a group presentation than it's fine, but just me? Bleh. It's fine if I'm talking to a group of people I already know and am comfortable around, however. But I don't look forward to a possible day where I'll have to speak to a bunch of strangers at an auditorium for like an hour. |

America's number one fear is apparently public speaking. Who knew?
I for one am usually fine with it, even though I have a horrible tendency to trip over my words so much of the time. |

I perform music on stage, but that's a bit different. You can kinda mask your anxiety with your movements. But I have given speeches before too, wasn't thaaat bad. I dunno.

I don't really struggle, I just really dread the very idea of it.

As for music, well I dunno, if you play at parties at clubs and such it will be a bit dark for you to see the audience, no? They'll be too busy partying and drinking rather than looking at the DJ. Like you've said, it's a bit different. Well, true, the anticipation is way worse than the speaking itself. |

I am a high school teacher so I am on a stage every day with an audience of 60 students and have to get up in front of coworkers as a lead teacher.So is an everyday thing with youth to those up to age 60. Sometimes you have to be a little energetic to get points across. Friday to explain imperialism I had two big students follow me around the room acting as muscle and taking students bookbags as a way of explaining imperialism. I am an introvert by nature, but in profession I view it as I act on a stage and have to do things proper to create learning and break the ice for others.

I get really nervous talking to one individual. You can probably imagine how I feel talking to a big group of people.

I'm in the category of oh hell no.

Basically your dialogue and posting structure. It doesn't resemble that of a professional teacher. A lot of your posts tend to have spelling errors or not spaced correctly after a period, I'm not sure if it's because you type on a phone or not but it's awkward to read sometimes.

I'm actually very good at it from what I've been told.
I'm also utterly terrified of it. |

Some people on this forum are teachers, like Cipher if you recall. The way teachers post on forums is as if they're writing essays. They type with etiquette and articulate their points on an almost intellectual level. It's quite fascinating to read from a distance.

I had no idea Cipher was a teacher but it does not surprise me at all. He does indeed write very eloquently.
It makes sense considering teachers(well except math, physics and gym ones, I guess) are the type of people who tend to read a lot. It'd be odd if they couldn't write properly. I mean, think about it, it's quite easy to tell, judging by someone's posts, if they read often or not. Or at least their literacy level. Especially when you engage them in discussions and arguments and take a look at their interpretation and argumentative skills. I have the nasty habit of going on multiple tangents when I type long posts. |

Or if someone's area or style of teaching relies far more on their speaking and presentation skills than writing skills, I don't imagine everyone necessarily has to write absolutely perfectly like a college English professor, esp off the job. MikeandRaph87, your classes sound fun. Wish I'd had classes like that. |
