I have a fear of public speaking. It's very hard work. Words are not my skill, and because they're not my skill, I have to work doubly hard.

I hate not managing to speak clearly. I really hate it. I get a feeling of claustrophobia - like I'm locked in my own head - if what I've said hasn't reached someone.

I'm terrified by speaking in front of people!

If I have to speak in public, I am terrified.

I think if you talk to my colleagues, I was less than a fearsome individual.

I don't have the fear I won't be able to think of something else to write. It's what I do.

Speaking is physically difficult for me.

My greatest fear is speaking in public.

I've never given a speech without being terrified first.

My fears and anxieties throughout my whole life have been slowly squeezing my voice.
