Join drama club or debate.  A few times of forced participation for a grade and you'll soon discover your secret.

remind yourself that everyone says dumb things so there is no reason for being afraid....most people are afraid to talk in front of people because they are wondering what the people are thinking of them....everyone is not perfect

You'll be just fine. Talking in front of kids is different than talking in front of adults. Once you do it a few times you will get used to it. Maybe you could try observing a class, or substituting to help you get over this.

Try to talk slowly and clearly, take your time and dont panic if they can't understand UK people can be quite rude to you if you don't speak english clearly but ignore them because they probably don't speak it properly anyway

Tell them you don't want to be pulled in two directions because you love them all.  That might get you out of it and maybe that will guilt them into settling their disagreement.  If they don't listen to you, stay away from all three of them if you can.  You can't win in this kind of fight.

What is it that causes these nerves? You know you can do it, you know that after a few mins in front of them you will be fine, in fact it sounds like you are quite brilliant. Try not talking about your topic in the first few mins, chat to somewone in the front row about their weekend and use that time to set yourself up. ppl will give you a couple of mins to set up and showing an interest in a person will add cudos to your presence. You will know you are out front, ppl will be looking at you but your nerves will only be visible if at all to the person you are talking to.  Or have a piece of info that is relevant to the group and read it out. take refuge in the words.  It may be a little boring to have a presenter read however if you can then use that info in the presentation they will forget how it was delivered and focus on what you are now doing.

I am confused - do you mean your speech ? You could both take speech therapy for that . And if it is how the words come out wrong - like me - I sometimes speak rougher or louder than I should , people get confused or defensive at me , and I don't even know what I said wrong until it is too late . Now if this is what it is I can only say that it will take time to change it . Mine came after I think I was about 30 - my last child was born , and I started talking less , made shorter answers and bit my tongue , close the lips more often and use my ears now ! I still have problems relating to piers , family excetra . And I totally understand about the self esteem . I think you should try to have an hour every other day or so with your son and talk it through together - you might come up with some ways of fixing it together , your own class ! Maybe even put an ad in the paper to start a support group for just that , for parents and children to learn it together . I don't have exact answers - I am just trying to help . Good luck .

It's great that you acknowledge your problem and want to resolve it. First you must reprogram yourself (so to speak). You have to learn how to control how you react to people. I think you may just need to feel like you are being listened to, and if you don't that could cause frustrations to mount and fuses to become short. Try to address something before it becomes a big problem. Change your approach. If you're losing your cool with kids, try getting on their level and look them eye to eye and sincerely talk to them and tell them why certain things are important and that you don't want to get upset or yell at them but if they don't respect your wishes it could cause you to get upset and that they can help prevent that by showing that they are listening and respecting you. Just remember you can't control other ppl but you can control how you react to them.

Be professional and mature and remember to think as the higher person because the person who is making fun of you is obviously extremely low and you don't need to stoop to their level.  Just tell them you do not appriciate what they are doing and walk away from it.  It really makes you look like much of a stronger person.

Honestly there is no easy fix for this. You just have to put yourself in a situation where you have to talk. If you are really that uncomfortable with it and you are in school consider taking the dreaded speech class. It will force you to get up and talk in front of people. The best way to get over a fear like this is to tackle it. Hope that this helps and I wish you luck!

Maybe you should come out of your shell. Learn to talk to people before they talk to you. People are so judgmental and that's what makes the world horrible. Don't let them get to you, if you  are comfortable with the way you are, that's just fine, you'll fine the right people in time. Don't change for anyone, be happy with the way you are, if they misunderstand you in a bad way, blow them off that's there lost...=)

Honestly, just ignore them. Tell yourself.. "Who cares", smile, and walk away. If you get upset by what they say, its their gain cos thats what they want. The key is not to take what they say seriously, even tho' it may be a major OUCH phrase they use. Just think of it as (the lamest and unfunniest) joke ever, and move on. :)

No, it's rude to talk to more than one person at a time.  Finish your conversation with Pizza Hut and then you can talk to grumpydaysleeper all you want about whatever you want.

There's actually a funny saying that all my teachers have hung up in their classrooms. It says "Everyday I give special attention to one person... today is not your day..... tomorrow doesn't look good either." You don't have to say that, but I thought that is pretty funny... but in all seriousness you should approach them and be like "Listen... you all are very close to me, but there isn't enough me to go around." Then if two of your friends get into a fight you simply say... "i'm sorry... but I am NOT taking sides." Sometimes... unfortunately... you have to take a stand with your friends like that. Good luck!!!
