I use to see parents go with the sign "Do not kidnap my children." but I literally had been kidnapped by Glossophobia.
How did I escape? Was a ransom paid?
When I was 5 years old I was slated amongst the children that will speak on a certain topic I can't remember anymore.
When it was time, I took the stage. Before now I had a dress rehearsal to conclude my several encouragement rehearsals with my sister. Mom was really busy.
"You can do it. You're brighter than the spotlight so go shine." I wondered who told her all these things will help.
The moment I got to the mic, loneliness held hands with my lack of self confidence and forge images of things I can't really tell but I know it was scary.
The pulsing tablets behind my chest increased their speed. Felt like that crazy drummer in my church had a concert in there.
Take a breath! now, go!
I did well. Yes. At least that's what my mom told me but then, the me inside didn't want such an opportunity again. They say opportunity knocks but once and I really hoped it didn't knock again but as you can guess right, it knocked again and again like it was the only door in the area.
Fast forward to when I hosted my first event. I was called upon to take a spoken word piece since the delegated person stalled arrival. I really wished I was asked to sing so I'll just close my eyes and be in the spirit. Then I started. The piece was something I had done some days ago in front of my friends so they thought there was no issues putting me out the.
PS: Careful how you memorize people's piece.
God being merciful, the TV screen facing me had the lyrics on it. Is God not wonderful?
I took off. Had some friction at the start but then from these photos you can tell I was "burning like fire..." a verse in a song.😋
To conclude this, I'll give you hints on how I overcame Glossophobia in my next post. Goodnight for tonight. @kistarry01

Hi @kistarry01 fear when we are in front of an audience is a pretty uncomfortable feeling, when I was in school I was terrified to have interventions in front of my classmates, but I think it's great that soon you will share with us tips to overcome it.
I see that you are new and therefore I invite you to read the rules of the community, where you can see the word limit that we expect to have the publications, rules that dolo help us to continue growing and improving in Hive, on the other hand, I consider appropriate to talk about the correct use of the sources and express in your publication if the images used are your own.
😁 Thank you very much for sharing with us your experience 6 we are anxious to read those tips you will give us.
I am still battling with the fear up till now,
