Freud
once said “If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal
oozes out of him at every pore.”
He
must be talking about someone delivering his icebreaker speech.
So
Ladies and Gentlemen watch me, watch my skin, watch my stage fright ooze out at
every pore.
This
is why I joined Toastmasters. I am here to put myself in a situation that forces
me to face my fear of stage fright and to expand my identity and grow as a
person.
