Ok, so I'm nervous. Help!?

Question

Tomorrow I have to go and talk to the incoming freshman about the school and show them around and everything. The problem is,.. I'm so shy around people! How cacn I open up and be myself? The real me.. the crazy, funny person that my close friends and family know? I just really hate public speaking! Help!

Answer 1

I used to be that way too. At work, my responsibilities changed and I had to start doing Orientation for incoming new hires. I hate speaking in front of others but here's how I look at it and make my way through it. If you are the person doing the talking, it's because you are the person with the information. Most of the time, people won't know if you are 100% right or not, just share the information that you know. I always try to throw little jokes in here and there to keep it interesting too. That's how you can keep their attention. It's hard to overcome, but just put your mind to it and I'm sure you'll be great. These people don't know you yet since they are new, so why not start things off right and be yourself. You'll probably get a ton of new friends! Besides, they are probably more nervous than you are!!!!!

Hope this helps a little. Good luck with everything.

Answer 3

At first your going to be nervous but once you get talking and realize their not going to bite and it won't be that bad you will loosen up. Just try and relax your mind when you go in there. I have the same problem. I had a play once and I was nervous through the whole thing but I got through it and felt really proud of myself. Just relax and good luck to you. Have FUN!
