Grateful, you are not alone! I have a fear of public speaking as well. I always have, I sweat, my heart pounds, my hands shake, my voice shakes, it's absolutely horrible. I remember in college I even went to counseling for it specifically for my senior project presentation. The counselor prescribed me beta blockers. I've thought of joining clubs like toast masters to get over this fear but haven't yet. I'm interested to hear what the others have to say about it.
