Glossophobia – Fear of public speaking
We have all been students at one point in our lives and also had the opportunity to speak to people of higher authority. When this opportunity arises, we often have difficulty explaining ourselves to them. This condition is called glossophobia, and it affects 4 in 10 Americans.
In situations like this, people with glossophobia tremble, sweat, and have the strong urge to run away. Glossophobia can interfere with one’s normal function as there is always a strong fear that limits your freedom of speech.
