Glossophobia

As i was surfing the net,i came across a web where it was all about the phobias facing by mankind.I have decided to blog about glossophobia which means fear of speaking in public.It seems to be an interesting topic to me because it reminds me of the public speaking that we did during Technical English lesson.Glossophobia is believed to be the single most common phobia that affecting as much as 75% of the population. Public speaking is considered some of the most importantly valued skills that an individual can possess. This skill can be used for almost anything. Most great speakers have a natural ability to display the skills and effectiveness that can help to engage and move an audience for whatever purpose. Language uses is among one of the most important aspects of public speaking and interpersonal communication. Having knowledge and understanding of the use and purpose of communication can help to make a more effective speaker communicate their message in an effectual way.Some of the symptoms of glossophobia are physical distress, nausea or feelings of panic in such circumstances.There are some organizations and training courses are available to reduce the fear of public speaking to manageable levels.Trough this web,i learnt many useful information about public speaking and thus i believe it will help me to become a better public speaker in the future.
