Fear of Public Speaking: When Stage Fright Becomes Social Anxiety
Dr. Aakanksha Kharb, Psychiatrist in rohtak and
Do you feel intense fear, sweating, shaking, or a racing heart before speaking in front of others? Occasional nervousness is normal. However, when the fear becomes overwhelming and starts affecting academic performance, career growth, or daily confidence, it may be more than just stage fright.
Fear of public speaking is commonly linked to social anxiety disorder, a treatable mental health condition.
At Dr Aakanksha Kharb Neuropsychiatry Clinic, we provide professional psychiatric care for individuals struggling with performance anxiety in Rohtak and Sonipat.
What Is Fear of Public Speaking?
Fear of public speaking (also called glossophobia) involves intense anxiety when speaking in meetings, classrooms, presentations, interviews, or social gatherings.
Common symptoms include:
-
Rapid heartbeat
-
Dry mouth
-
Trembling hands or voice
-
Mind going blank
-
Fear of embarrassment or judgment
-
Avoiding presentations or public interactions
If avoidance starts limiting opportunities, professional support can help.
Why Does It Happen?
Public speaking fear may develop due to:
