sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
my brain: everything is fine
my body: *seizure mode activated*

🤣🤣🤣🤣😅damn true
Lol 🤣
😂
i didn’t realize i had public speaking anxiety until i tried to join in on a debate today and my voice and body started shaking and i got super embarrassed. it makes sense now because my heart raced whenever i wanted to speak in class :(
Lol me too that's why I only recite whe my teacher calls me cause my heart beats fast just by thinking about reciting
same here, plus my heart beat gets so loud that it's all i can hear.
@@dimakratz63 then it feels like you’re having a stroke cause u forget what you’re gonna say and u are so worried about others opinions
Same. I once signed up to compete in a public speaking contest cuz I thought I’m not bad at public speaking and I speak well. But NOPE! I froze on stage and made a complete fool of myself and ever since then I just have so much anxiety and stage fright 😭
I'm not a doctor, but if nothing works out for you.. Then consult a doctor and take proponolol before presentation.. Works like charm... But down side is without proponolol I'm not able speak in a public or in a meeting.. My heart beat raises as soon as I start talking...
the #1 one cause of your speaking anxiety is uncertainty! Love it, just speaking truth
Awesome Sabin, thanks for the feedback.
I have a class presentation tomorrow and I’m so terrified. I’m shaking even just thinking about it :(
Update: I commented this a while ago, but it went pretty well. Our teacher is gonna grade it so i’m kinda nervous about that, but let’s hope for the best.
Another update: I got a B!
So glad it went well despite your nerves!
I have a speech in the assembly on Monday
@@merlinsbeard9746 Good luck!!!
@@soundvoices6973 thanks (:
Let’s goo
I have a presentation in 3 days and honestly I'm LITERALLY shaking at the thought of it.
How did it go
I recently realized that I have this. I thought it was social anxiety but I'm not that anxious in social situations . It's when I'm in the spotlight and expected to talk is when all the fear comes out
I literally have to do a presentation in the next few minutes and I’m so nervous
How was it?
@@How_to_613 it actually went well lol i got a great score on it
I have one tomorrow😫,I really hate chemistry.
@@kimi-chn8669 how was it bro??
@@kimi-chn8669 I have one tomorrow 😢
Love this... it's about getting out of your own way! I find giving talks similar to teaching a yoga class - it's not about you... it's about the students in the class and how to give them the best experience in that moment. And every single time, it's about getting out of your own way, don't make it about you and your nerves - it's about them! Thanks for this reminder. :)
Thanks Jaime. That’s a great example. The best yoga instructors are dialed in to what the student is thinking, feeling and doing and then just guides there energy while the student does the work
Point the focus outward, I love it. My favorite was "be a giver and not a taker." It's so hard not to focus on me. Thanks Riaz.
Thanks for your honest feedback Daryl. Awesome to have you here.
Love the about connecting with people individually. This helps with my speaking anxiety!
Right on!
It's 4:05 in the morning, and here I am being so competitive and practicing the soul out of me. Hope it goes well later!!!!🤕
Edit: I won first place! I snatched that Champion title!!!
SO HAPPY FOR U
@@cheayto9085 THANKS!
@@samilasin8576 NO WORRIES!! YOU ROCK BESTIE
YESSSS SO PROUD OF YOU!!! OMGMGMG
@@heyyy7089 THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Focus on delivering to one person at a time - and find 'the nodder'! Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks Debra. Don't we love a good 'nodder'? Thanks for checking this out.
Talking in class wasn't even a bit problem for me before pandemic. I used to represent my group. But when covid has started, just thinking about speaking would make me feel terrify. Cold feet, hands shaking, heart's pounding, usual signs of speaking anxiety. Because I kept thinking about 'Maybe I' ve changed already and I can't do it anymore.' But upon diving into this video, it got me straight, beating anxiety is about not focusing on yourself but rather on what you are about to do. Loosening up and having fun. Maybe that's one thing I have neglected. I was always focused on the things I thought I couldn't, but hell, I definitely can. Thank you for this video :)
Ngl i really wanna cry right now cz of the presentation due next week. It's not even am important one. Our teachers are trying to push us more this semester to build confidence but boi o boi i wish they didn't 😭😭😭
I forget everything I stammer and talk nonsense it is serious and I just accepted this is me and didn't try to change for 10 years
This is me.
I even have anxiety in a small group setting. I’m trying my best to overcome this anxiety.
Have you succeeded?
I have to do a announcements to my whole school I’m so nervous ..... you oddly make me calm
got a 6 minute presentation on french tomorrow, i cant even speak french lol. Prob is not the mindset, but my body, it just goes all places whilst im thinking, it doesnt matter how they think, theyre just ppl too. Lol im such a mess when it comes to powerpoints ehhh
Every time I have to do a presentation my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. I'm about to drop bombs, but I keep on forgetting
What I wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
I open my mouth, but the words won't come out
I'm choking, how? Everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over-blaow!
It's so very difficult to handle nervousness for me but also i feel bad if i didn't get the chance to speak up about my thoughts. It feels like my ideas are wasted so i really need to overcome my weakness so thank you so much for this. I hope that i can do well more in my school because of this mindset. I appreciate it.
Hi, @Himari. I can definitely resonate with what you’ve said and would be really interested in hearing more about your experiences relating to public speaking and/or any anxieties you may still currently face. I’m looking to gather insight from individuals like yourself (purely for my own research) to help me build a new workshop I’m working on. It would mean the world to me if we could hop on a quick call and I could ask you a few questions. OR if you know of someone who fits this description, please tag them below/introduce me. Feel free to tag me here with a reply if you’re interested :) Super appreciate your shared insights in advance.
my soeaking anxiety is so horrible i physically cannot form words and i start shaking and my heart starts beating so fast
I have a presentation Thursday in one of my college courses. I’ve found that if I start the presentation by asking a question to related said topic I’m able to ground the my nerves faster once I get the audience speaking instead of just having them staring at me during the start of the presentation. I’ll add this is someone who is terrified of public speaking and on anxiety medication.
Love these points you're absolutely on point Riaz. Focusing on ourselves only increases the anxiety, focusing outward shifts our focus and naturally our perspective.
Thanks Nisreen. Figured you could definitely relate to this given your work in front of the camera. 'Don't be a creeper' also applies here to reduce the anxiety :)
This helped me a lot, thank you! I gotta do a school presentation tomorrow that I have been avoiding for 3 months, im not afraid anymore because im pretty sure that everyone feels the way I do when they are infront of the whole class so im not nervous anymore cause im not infront of professionals that are gonna judge me
How did it go tho
@@arrivederci9689 it went well, I spoke calmly and slowly at the start but messed up a bit at the end cause I was out of breath
Love this Riaz. My biggest tip is to connect to people individually, similar to your suggestion of your fab 5. Then it becomes about them, not you and your can serve your audience instead of being anxious.
Absolutely. The individual connections are a great way to refocus and build confidence in your content. Thanks Tertia!
I'm so nervous! I have a speech that is 8 minutes long rip me.
I have to do announcements to the whole shook
10 mins 😭
Andrea S aoww u hot thisss, remember everyone feels the same, u just cant see it, also ur safe💗😌😜
@@caringgurl4444 thank you! It went so well and I wasn’t afraid at all ❤️❤️ I stuttered a bit but I’ll work on that!
Same
Right before I am about to step up, I take a few BIG DEEP breaths with my eyes closed. Then, I focus on my senses to ground myself. I LOVED tip #1. Building those relationships up front makes them feel less like strangers. :)
Right in Naza. That grounding moment you describe is a difference maker with managing that anxious energy.
I have had this happen to me! I love this idea of talking to them in the beginning so you can focus during your presentation.
Thanks Elizabeth, it really helps cut that tension and make it more enjoyable on both sides.
I agree with connecting with people before hand. This really helps calm the nerves for me personally and helps as an ice breaker.
I just came here after a zoom meeting we I just had speaking anxiety I couldn’t stop talking and I couldn’t hear what I was saying🥺 .. but I’m hope watching your videos will help me because I’ll be working with clients and they need to have confidence in me as I handle their accounts...I guess it’s that need to be validated that I know my work but Gosh speaking anxiety 😥
Now that so many of us have to speak via zoom which is so different to being in person something I do is to practice and record myself talking on zoom to no one then play it back so I know how I sound and look. This helps me feel a bit more confident when presenting on camera. Hope this helps...
I always knew i had anxiety when I'm about to say something in fornt of a crowd but today the way my heart raised it actually took me by surprise well the point is does anyone want to like practice giving any sort of presentations or speaking in general like yk who could really use a company
I'm a 14 yo kid. I used to be so good at debates but then i left my school in 5th class. I was so depressed about it and i think that is why i have speech anxiety now. And the funny thing is that i can sometimes talk to strangers but i find it so hard to talk normally to my family especially my dad i don't really know why. It's like something is stopping me from speaking and my chest gets heated up. I really need a solution from you or the Internet!
Also if i speak fluenty in front of someone i normally don't feel the anxiety then. Also its not only in big crowds but even to a single person who i don't even know for eg. Taxi drivers, delivery guys etc
I I'll forget whatever I want to speak about the topic and my head goes just blank my heart beat goes in 120 Speed 😥🤐
OMG I can totally relate! I tend to get shaky knees and it is incredibly annoying :P. Such a great technique to focus on the audience instead of yourself. Thanks for sharing :)
Brie! It’s a small shift with a big impact. Let me know how it works for you.
have been afraid of public speaking as long as I can remember. I have dropped out of school and lost a lot of opportunities because I was too afraid to speak. I'm scared to talk to authority or speak in front of people because my mind goes blank. My heart beats so fast and my mouth goes dry. Then after that I get very very depressed and think of suicide because I felt like a failure. I don't want this to control my life. I did toast masters today and it was so hard. Very hard for me but I forced myself to. I know the fear is irrational but it impacts my life and my body and my mind . After toast masters I got depressed for reasons I don't know. I'm going to go again. It's like I'm walking into the danger to overcome it. I see potential to present. I see hope to give a speech some day. I'm so so so scared but I have to .
You are overcomer already.
I have a presentation with a person in a couple of days. We are both really nervous! Thanks for the tips
I have to talk about how I want to be a good colleague in front of my co workers on monday. It is all I can think about, I am so nervous I want to die instead...
They can tell I am so nervous and I am convinced they enjoy it inside cause they love not being me. I am shaking, sweating, dry mouth, can't speak properly when I am so nervous... I hate it!!
How did it go? Did it get any better?
This is amazing Riaz! Can't wait to try this technique! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Marina.
Learning what's going on in the local scene is such a great idea. Great stuff as always Riaz!
Hereeeee's Jonny! Thanks for checking in my man
I found this content helpful. Actually a while a go I left in our online discussion cu'z I can't explain my feelings by that time. We usually having a recitation every meeting in our particular subjects. But suddenly I feel some difficulties to breathe and I am prepared in recitation I'mnot that confident but I've done an advance study. Then a while a go I can't even talk and express my thoughts straight and properly. I just feel so sad.

This is the topic to address! Sometimes I wonder if anything really works besides just getting up and doing it as cliché as it sounds lol. So many people avoid public speaking which obviously makes their anxiety worse. Nice vid - kudos!!
I'm happy to have come across your channel. I don't particularly have anxiety when speaking, it's more that I stumble on my words at times and that they don't come out conveying the message I initially intended to convey. Thanks for you great content!
Thanks Jessica. Glad to have you hear. Will be releasing a video in the coming weeks on recovering after a stumble. Stay tuned!
Its not that its just that when like I practice to myself, like its good and everything, but when you do it infront of a class or a crowd, you just waste everything you did, the eye contact, when you remember what your saying and everything. I really hate it and I just feel like I wanna get it over with no matter what happens. Its super annoying and I say to myself why am i embarrasing myself.
I have to debate in the next few minutes infront of my whole class (online on zoom) with my video on. I just hope I don’t get too nervous!
Want to improve my improv public speaking so will try this out!
Thanks Vicky. Keep me posted on your progress.
I've used the "connect with people before you speak" technique. That way when I'm speaking I can connect with friendly faces. Helps a bunch. Never thought about also asking questions to use for even better connection. Super helpful tip Riaz!
Thanks Debbra. Not surprised you are familiar with this approach. You appear to be someone that leads with their heart :)
@@RiazMeghji thank you Riaz. What a beautiful sentiment. 💚
I have a French one Tommorow and my accent is kinda shite 😅
I don’t know if I will ever be able to speak in mass . I can’t even do normal conversation with my boss . Social Anxiety is so painful .
Thanks for you honesty. What specifically do you find increases your anxiety?
Finding your 5 is such a great strategy to make a connection.
Fab 5 is a big booster! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely loved this video! Packed with super helpful and valuable information. Also, the editing was really fun to watch! Thanks
Thanks Ortal
I can give a speech in front of millions of people but when it comes to my class its impossible for me
What makes it feel impossible in front of the class?
i have 2 presentations soon, im gonna come back to see if it went fine
@Cloudy XD one of them wasnt so good cause i barely knew the teacher so it was so awkward but the other one was good :D
@Cloudy XD yo u like city morgue?
Great tips! "pointing your focus outward' -- such good advice.
Thanks Karla!
I'm nervous for my interview this Monday. even though its an online interview but still I'm nervous as heckk 😭
What happened then you got the job? Its now 3 years
one thing that helps me overcome speaking anxiety is to think that will this speech or presentation matter in a matter of a few months or years. Also have bullet points ready for what you are about to speak about. That takes away the weight from the speaking part instantly.
I really enjoyed watching your video and these are good tips but once you are up for presentation you forget everything and become so nervous and anxious 😅
Palms sweaty, knees weak, arms become heavy, mom's spaghetti
He’s nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready
to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
Thanks for the great vidio, its really helpful for me in preparing my final thesis persentation in my university, thanks for the helpuf tips and trick to overcome the unxiety problem during speaking in front of people, kudos....
I hope this helps me because i got an speaking exam
I've a graduation party tomorrow and I'm planning to use the techniques in my speeche.
I have done relatively a lot of public speaking whether it is giving a presentation at a convention or providing state of department projects for annual upper management review . The degree of anxiety is fluid and depends how ready you are with your material. I engage the audience first and that brings them in as part of the presentation...and I'm asking them questions thru-out. One thing I find many people who are uncomfortable speaking, is they try to do the conventional approach first but as soon as they get the dreaded "shakey voice" they almost always revert to reading their speech....Not good. And one odd thing I have found out about most people is while they are afraid to speak in public, they are usually the first to volunteer for a community play or skit acting the part of a fictional or historic character. It seems their fear always goes away when "hamming it up".
This is so crazy, I have speaking anxiety when presenting or doing job interviews (as MYSELF) but have no qualms acting or role playing in front of an audience. What IS the logic 🥴
Thanks for the video! I watched this 2 days ago, and today I found out I was school captain! Y’all it will be okay
All of these are true, all that you told here actually increase my confidence when i spoke earlier
Service! Yes.... such amazing tips. Thank you Riaz :)
Awesome Ally! Thanks for checking it out
Usually I can control myself while presenting in from of hundreds people but my problem is while speaking in small groups😕😕😕
I am a college student and I am always reporting. And it is even if thru online class. I always feel nervous. Sometimes I forgot all the ideas i had practiced😣.
My favorite is tip #2! So real when you have a shift in your mind to give more :)
Service is the name of the game!
Thank you for this Beat Your Speaking Anxiety with This Proven Technique
!
Thanks Donnie!
try adding a stutter on top of the speaking anxiety. This is a great video, thanks
Thank you Riaz - fantastic and so practical! I love your channel
Awesome Erica. Let me now what topic you'd love to see covered in future videos!
Great video. Short but straight to the point and has helped me more than many other videos on here.
I have a presentation tomorrow 😬
Another thing that helps is contradictory. Try to feel as much fear as you possibly can, crank it up. Notice how it really feels and accept it. It won't kill you to do this. Once it's accepted it will go away, the more you resist the more it will keep itself around.
Anybody watching these videos please understand that your ‘nervousness’ may be more than just ‘public speaking anxiety’. Serious mental health conditions may also be at play like ‘selective mutism’ and ‘complex PTSD’ for example. These tips are fine but please be sure you are getting the appropriate help.
What helps me? Beta Blockers! (Inderal) I also need dramamine (gravol) to fly. Something is UP with my nerves. And, I've flown for over 20 years so..
Love this tip of getting to know your audience better. When I used to go to comedy shows I really respected comedians who made local references. Like when Trevor Noah came to town and he opened with jokes about Vancouver, loved it!
So true, I was at one of Trevor's show. I think he was talking about discovering E Hastings 😳
Yup. Uncertainty management is definitely a skill.
Right on. If we know it's there, we just need to find the way to navigate it.
Got asked to officiate a wedding and now I’m here. I’m just so scared and nervous. I want it to go so great for them, but I know my struggle with be visible. 😩
What scares you most about this opportunity Tony?
I get cold and start to shiver uncontrollably
This means one thing, you are a certified human! Hopefully these tips helped.
dreaded dry mouth!! lol So true with comedians making local references, i'm always so impressed by that!
Thanks Sara!
@Keitho Dunleavio stop between sentences and drink huge loads of water
I'm late but this is super-helpful. I am headed in now to give a presentation. I'll be sure to use your techniques mentioned in the video.
How did it go?
@@RiazMeghji It was just ok. I have about three presentations a week (every other week) when in the office. I believe the three day consistency will strengthen my presentation skill (muscle) and relieve some of my anxiety issues. At this point, I don't have a choice. In the meantime, I will continue to watch videos like yours to get more comfortable. Thanks so much for asking.
I have ACTUAL anxiety (diagnosed). Idk if this will work. It’s more than just trouble with eye contact; I had trouble breathing and etc. it’s worse than just “shyness”, hiding and sweating palms. I hope this works.
sorry to hear that. These should definitely help!
Betablockers will help
Loved the video . Exactly how I feel .my body shakes voice gets shaky ..Loved the line stop focussing on yourself ..Thank You sir .
Did it go well?
Comment section giving me happiness knowing i m not alone suffering from this
I have a presentation to deliver in 1 hour. In front of university professors, who find lecturing easy, and others. I’m so scared, I hate speaking in front of an audience.
how did it go?
How was it?
Loved all you advice. I know I definitely can feel very anxious when talking to a big crowd. Terrified thag I will stutter and mess up the whole thing. Really appreciate these tips
Thanks Serena. I think we all have that fear. Sometimes when we show it, we can bring the audience closer to us. We’re human after all :)
For me it’s more so will I forget what I prepared for. That’s what causes my anxiety. How do I retain the information, formulate it and deliver it coherently. I want to sound convincing.
I am going to be interviewed on a morning show on Monday. I’m so nervous. I’m hoping I do well 😂
I don’t like your content; I LOVE it. Thank you
I have to do a presentation about Covid-19 policies today, so nervous it’s worth a lot of my grade. And we aren’t allowed to use notes or look on a screen, we have to just make up our words on spot :(
EVERYTIME! I love your delivery and this was great I want to use this within writing and speaking situations now that we are mostly working from home!
Glad it landed for you!
My facial expressions changes thats my main prb
Yup. I know the dry mouth! Great video, Riaz!
Lol. Right when you think you have things under control, we hear that nasty dry mouth creep in :) Thanks Tanya!
@@RiazMeghji hahahahaha
When I speak in public my reasoning just disappear and I speak nonsense. I believe most of the problem comes from lack of confidence so I'm trying to be more confident while speaking.
Some really great tips here for any one with anxiety around public speaking ...EXCELLENT
Right on Steve, great to have you here.
Very interesting points, thanks!
That dreaded dry mouth! Great vid Riaz. Very informative.
You can taste it!
Great stuff as always! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Celina!
I have a speech to present at school for English and I'm nervous, I have this technique and it's that everyone gets nervous about presenting a speech, I don't have to present it if I'm too nervous but it doesn't really work, I also want to just end it already but I'm restarting my speech because it makes no sense at all
