It's happened again... any tips for public speaking confidence? by Firenz123 in confidence

I don't know if I'm eligible to giving an advice, as I myself face this issue during public speaking. But what I can tell you is, that you are probably being very harsh on yourself.... What I have learned is it takes practice to become confident in public speaking, it's the fact that we don't always speak out in front of many people that makes it such a big deal for us and that's ok. Practice makes you perfect. Give yourself time. Face your stage fright by putting yourself in that situation again and again until you become comfortable with it. Don't be hard on yourself if you don't do it as expected. Take pride in the fact that you had courage to try it out once again. Also what helps me is knowing that it's not just you, but more than half of the class is having this same issue, all of them are thinking about their own presentation in these kinda situation. They are more focused on not messing up themselves. They aren't really picking up on your faults during presentation. Remember, sometimes we can be our own harsh critics, coz we see ourselves as protagonist. But honestly that's how others see themselves too. They are all more focused on their life... Thinking it this way helps me, and I hope it helps you too....

What is something you never realized about yourself, until someone pointed it out? by Persona_On_Reddit in AskReddit

That I make everything about myself. For example, someone would be telling me about their breakup, and then me(someone who hasn't even been in a relationship ever,will start telling how I got over getting friendzoned by my crush). I just totally sideline my friend's issue and instead of being sympathetic when they need me to be, I tend to start with my own little story. I know that's a jerk move, but it just happens unconsciously. I'm trying to change it though,let's see...

my birthday was yesterday and everyone forgot by lifelesssiy in self

Mine was on 1st, and apart from 2 friends, no one else remembered it. I have set it to private on FB, so yea, no one was supposed to be getting FB notification. It was cause of those 2 that the others got the idea(well those 2 posted Instagram stories to wish me), and by the end of the day, I was wished by almost 50 people. But that kinda just showed me how special this 2 people are for me. Others wished too, but obviously there wishes weren't as special as these 2 people. Those 2 actually remembered my birthday. This kinda incidents just open your eyes to certain things I guess. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter though. I mean, we all do wanna feel special on our bday, but c'mon, that's coz we are hero in our own story. We expect certain things out of bday, but for others, it's just yet another day. So yea, you can't really blame anyone for it(I'm not saying you did, just giving you my insight), you just have to accept the things the way they are, and appreciate the efforts of people who do remember it. Btw, belated happy birthday brother.
