I've been working for 4 years now. I have always had anxiety but it usually becomes worse when I am the centre of attention, Eg: interviews, talking with a group of friends, presenting work to client/seniors. I thought that if I put myself in these situation enough times, that my mind will get used to it but I feel that it doesn't help me much. Recently I started volunteering for office trainings where I train new joiners through ppt, hand-on and the experience is really crippling. I want to be a good presenter, crack jokes etc. But when I am on stage I get so anxious, my heart starts pounding,I have shortness of breadth. In this situation it's hard to remember what I had to say, let alone crack jokes. I feel that this thing cannot be beaten, it will always remain the same and I should rather look for a low anxiety (less interaction) job. Has anybody dealt with this, and were you able to overcome this? How? Please help...
