This fear began in high school when I had to give a presentation in front of the whole class. I was extremely nervous. My hands were shaking, and I could barely remember what I wanted to say. That experience left such a strong impression on me. Every time I had to speak in front of people, I felt anxious. The turning point came at university during a student cup. As part of my role, I had to present an idea at a meeting. I was terrified, but I decided to prepare. I practiced in front of a mirror, and with coaching, I also learned some breathing techniques to calm myself down before speaking. Over time, after forcing myself to take more opportunities, I gained confidence. Overcoming this fear changed me a lot; I became more self-assured not just in public speaking but also in daily interactions, such as meeting new people or expressing my opinions. I now volunteer to give presentations or lead discussions without hesitation. Looking back, I realize that pushing myself out of my comfort zone was one of the most valuable lessons I learned.
