Fear of Public Speaking
The fear of public speaking is known to many people. It can affect just about anyone who stands up in front of a crowd to speak. For some people, speaking in front of large crowds can cause intense fear and anxiety. For others, a small crowd can cause the same sort of intense fear. If the fear of speaking is intense enough, it could even trigger a panic attack.

This fear can cause physical symptoms prior to the public speaking engagement, or during the actual presentation.
