Fear always has a base and valid reason behind it. Some of those reasons are:

1.   Past Experience

There might be cases previously where your public speaking had gone wrong. Maybe you faces criticism and negative reviews that had broken down the confident wall you had built. You might be feeling that history would repeat.

2.   Expecting Anxiety

Before the actual activity of public speaking you know you would face anxiety due to which you are building up to higher towards a greater level of anxiety over what has not even happened yet.

3.   Thoughts of Listeners

Speakers often feel that they can hear what the audience is thinking and often face expressions and unexpected laughs that make you believe that you made some mistake that builds up fear.

4.   Anticipating Visible Nervousness

You are often nervous but it doubles when you force your body and face to not let it reflect. Too much effort makes you feel that you are not successful and are portraying too much nervousness in every action.

5.   Fear of Forgetting

After a thorough preparation a simple thought about ‘what if I forget’ can be a danger to your confidence. This leads to fear of forgetting and you make mistakes even if you could have done it perfectly.

6.   Missing skill

You might feel that this is not your forte and public speaking is not for you. This kind of thought builds up your confidence in your to-be failure. This becomes true due to negative confidence and your fear wins.

7.   Physical Factors

At times, it is not fear but the physical factors that build up your fear. The drying of the mouth and throat, the rapid beating of the heart, sweating, shakiness, gasping, tightening of the stomach, and so on are common symptoms.

Every reason above contributes to negative personality development and needs steady support to move towards positivity and away from fear.
