Glossophobia is defined as the fear of public speaking, which is the main reason for stage fright. Many people around us have this disease, but we do not know it because we are not facing this disorder personally. Some people fear height, water, deep water, isolation, and death, while some fear public speaking. It is not very dangerous but maybe creates huge problems in many cases. Suppose a student has glossophobia and they can’t present in front of an audience. Presentations are compulsory in student life and professional life as well. Students can’t give a compelling presentation if they are affected by glossophobia. Then these students have lost their marks. Many people faced a fight-or-flight response during public speaking or presentation. In this situation, the brain enhances the release of adrenaline and steroids, and the sugar level of blood or energy level will increases. Fast heartbeat, sweating, shortness of breath, muscle tension are the main symptoms of fight-to-flight response. In shorts, glossophobia becomes a problem when you are in university, college, or about to start your professional life. You can’t do this, even when you want. It will impact badly on your personality. You may lose your individuality if you do not overcome this fear at the early stages of your life.
