Hello well i do Karate once a week but most of the time i say almost nothing and i cant tell if its because of my anxiety or because I just have no stories to tell.
Its starting to get to me and i swear they're trying to get me to open my mined up a bit on purpose.

I am not sure because you not really giving the symptoms. Anxiety and panic are bad things when they are in full swing. Can you tell us how you are feeling what you are feeling? That would give us a better idea of how to help you.

Hi

You could be experiencing Social Anxiety which a lot of us suffer with here it can mean that you find social situations difficult and find interacting with people hard that's just my opinion remember I am not a doctor so if you are really worried go and speak to yours.

The good news is lots can be done to help ease anxiety and you can check out our resources thread which is on the main page first post for some links to self help guides.

ozm8ey,

Public speaking is a challenge for a lot of people! I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of people feel the same way you do about the sharing time in your class.

Practice, and consistecy should help. The more you face the things that make you uncomfortable, the less power they have to bother you.

Go in prepared, and plan out what you want to say. Taking slow deep breaths before you start to speak will help to calm you. Focus fully on what you are saying...and not what people might be thinking.

I am sure that with some practice/prep you will do great.:)

As Hibee mentioned, here is the link to our Resources for great anxiety management techniques and suggestions.
