Nobody likes to be judged, but that's the world we live in where our every word and move is criticized. In regards to stage fright, judgement and anxiety can get serious. Plenty of scenarios come to mind where anxiety kicks in, such as


  • Being the center of attention
  • Being watched while performing a task. In the case of stage fright, presentations, talent shows, speeches, are all involved
  • Talking to people of higher authority, ex. work, having to speak with those of greater seniority and power within the company. 
  • In the classroom when called upon by the professor to answer a question in front of the class 


Symptoms of anxiety differ between emotional and physical. Below is a few symptoms of both physical and emotional symptoms followed by a few ways for someone to conquer their anxiety disorder

Physical:

  • Red Face, Blushing
  • Short of breath
  • Nausea
  • Shaking
  • Heart is racing
  • Sweating
  • Dizzyness
Emotional
  • Self Conscious 
  • Lengthy worry before a social situation, such as presentations, speeches, or anything having to do with speaking in front of an audience
  • Fear of being watched by others. Judgment also a cause 
Ways to deal with Anxiety
  • Challenge all your negative thoughts
    • Identify your thought and underline what the main issue is. Messing up? Being in front of everyone? 
  • Controlling your breathing
  • Face your problems
    • Avoiding certain situations helps you at the current time, but later on when you need to go through the situation again, it becomes more of a challenge because you've been avoiding it for too long
