[usr] I really hate public speaking, so it doesn't help that I had to recite a poem in public way back in like 6th grade. [sys] I definitely understand that feeling.  It took me forever to sign up for my Speech Communications class because of speaking in public. [usr] Exactly! I just really don't like speaking in front of people no matter what. [qst] [None] [bhv] [None]
I actually took it late evening class without too many students and even was scared and only had to speak in front of the professor.
I really hate going in front of crowds. Especially when I had to recite a poem in front of a whole crowd of people.
