They say the some peoples biggest fear is public speaking and that they would rather drown. In fact it ranks up with being burned to death and falling to your death. This is a known fact of psychologists that over 90% of humans are afraid of public speaking and would rather die than to get up in front of a crowd. Indeed, this is an interesting phenomenon. Some hypothesize that it stems from early childhood and being forced to read in front of the class while others think it goes back much further in our evolutionary and ancient ancestors social groups and tribes. Whatever the reason this seems to be a real fear amongst humans and it is important that you conquer this fear.
