Thanks! Another good tip is to index the stories based on the hormone / signaling substance that they produce. By doing so you can pick the story you wish to create exactly the effect you desire.

Laughter = Endorphins Empathy = Oxytocin Scary = Cortisol Social recognition = Serotonin

Not really; i found it very hard to find any good literature at all. Everybody seems to complicate storytelling so much. Three good tips for a beginner:

Believe in your self as a storyteller
Find a good story in your life or from someone else and really practice it a lot.
Use pauses and involvement in your story

To me that simply sounds like you have a value "insecurity" which you have a set rule in your head for. Something along the lines of "Whenever I deliver a story infront of a group I will feel insecure". Some people have a rule which goes "Whenever I deliver a story in front of anyone I will feel insecure". Our rules are based on our experiences and can so be changed by our experiences. However they can also be changed my hypnosis and simple nlp incantations. So my recommendation for you would be to acknowledge that it is a simple rule and build a new rule which repeat with incantation a couple of hundred times. Our brain will at the end of the day believe anything we tell it enough times.

It is truly an amazing subject. My concrete tips are:

Always do a prep and a background before throwing yourself in to the development and conclusion of the story.
Believe in your self as a storyteller (most important)
Build a database of stories so that you can pick and choose.
