@Atlshrugged,There was a time when I had stage fear too.I was afraid king before a gathering.I took the fear head on and forced myself to speak before people.Gradually I overcame my fear.

I'm afraid of being in public, but I'm fine when I'm doing something that I enjoy. Like, I shiver when I give out a presentation to class, but I don't when I play my guitar.

@Atlshrugged It's just that I don't see anyone when I'm playing. I'm either looking at the ground or on the bridge. Perhaps that's the reason why I'm not afraid?

there are other things that causes fear but let's try this. we will understand that most at times when we feel fear within are when we are proud or has excessive high self esteem. If we don't do anything to show that we are special and takes everyone to be equal, we will not have time to think about our fears even though we have it. fear comes first in our thought and it is only the proud that it overcomes. so let's try this, anytime we deal fearful, let's check ourselves whether pride or excessive self esteem has set in

@magallon Yes May be that's why I have read in some motivating books that always assume that you are speaking in front of stupids..

Good preparation during the initial stage will help a lot in overcoming the stage fear. We will try to deliver whatever we have prepared without bothering about the audience. Later on, we can move to on the spot delivery. Recently my friend gifted me a book Susan Jeffers Feel the fear and do it any way. It is a good motivating book.
