Prompt
If you feel fear, anxiety, or discomfort when confronted with the task of speaking in front of an audience, reassured, you are not alone. National polls consistently show that public speaking is among Americans' top fears (Bodie, 2010). Yet, since we all have to engage in some form of public speaking, this is a fear that many people must face regularly. The textbook explored the definition of communication appreciation, various types of speech anxiety, and listed ways in which speakers may eliminate stage fright.
Directions
To further the discussion on anxiety:
1.) Watch the video below
2.) Answer the question, "what gives you anxiety?" (you can include situations other than public speaking. For example, I get anxiety when
I am away from my kids and also when my husband is driving - Yikes!) to earn full credit, your answer should be through and complete. Rather than just listing situations that give you anxiety, tell us WHY and/or how you feel and/or provide a specific example that you felt anxiety in these situations.
