[LOH #149] Most Embarrassing Moment

avatar

Welcome To My Blog

Hello friends, happy new week. Wishing you an amazing week ahead.

Nobody likes any form of embarrassment because whenever you remember the incident you feel ashamed of yourself. One thing I hate very much is embarrassing incidents. happen that will make you want to disappear at that particular time.

It happened last year in church. We were celebrating youth day. In my church every department which includes women, men , children, youth and teens have a day assigned to them. That day they hand over to them early to perform all what they have which includes their personal presentation and group presentation like singing, drama, choir.
Some activities, the leader assigns to a person to do it.

So our youth president told me to read our Sunday school manual and present it that youth day. To be sincere I did read and cram it. I also did some practice and made corrections of where I was wrong.
It got to Sunday and I was so tense.i couldn't even stay in church. I was going out and in and my body was shaking. It got to my presentation and my name was called.

When I went in front of the church and saw the large congregation. Normally I am not the kind of person who likes crowds and seeing them all stare at me got me really scared. My legs and hands began to shake and my voice started shaking too.
That fear made me forget everything I had cramped and I started starmming until time was over.

It was as if the ground should open and swallow me. I couldn't stay. I had to immediately leave church with that shame. Others did well in their presentation. Why was I different?
Since then I hate doing all those kinds of presentations in church. I prefer just sitting in a crowd or doing it in a group. Well I started learning how to talk in public although I haven't overcome the fear entirely.

Thank you for your reading

Sorry to hear about that, stage fright probably hit you hard and differently. With time, I'm sure it'll be a thing of the past

Awww, I can truly understand you. One technique that helped me was looking above the heads of the crowd or focusing on their forehead instead. That helped and continuously doing it will help you overcome the stage fright. Please do not relent

Oh my friend, I hear you! Public speaking is so hard to do when you haven't done it before, and even when you have! Add shyness to the mix and it can be mind boggling! It can get easier the more you do it. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!

I had the same problem with public speaking. About 20 some years ago, I was promoted at work to assistant store manager. My store manager knew I had a problem with public speaking, so she gave the running of the morning store meetings to me to run! I was terrified! It got me over the fear fairly quickly, but I still get nervous. Then, I remember what it was like the first time I sang in public, a solo, (I was around 41 years old) and was completely terrified! I was singing for Jesus and as long as I could focus on that, I could do it!

I still get nervous in either case and I've been leading worship for about 15+ years now. We just led not last Sunday, but the one before.

Keep your eyes on Him and it all works out! Take care my sweet friend!🤗💜

I'm not too great in front of an audience either.
I think that the Youth President failed in recognizing most youth are not experienced in speaking in public and did not provide some rehearsal time prior to the event allowing the speaker to become familiar with being on stage and have a practice run.

So sorry about that lady, facing large crowd is really frightening no one would have blamed you for it cause it isn't easy at all. But I'm sure with time you will overcome it when you do it the more

I know that fear cus I was there before. That was a mighty feet to handle as a first timer on stage addressing a large crowd.
My first Presentation in front of a crowd was to read a text or a story so I was scared at first and shaky but as I read I was able to gain confidence.

So doing that over and over again made me get rid of that stage fright. From a person who could not read to a group of people I speak to them now. I know you will get better and get over the fright on stage with practice. Sorry you went through that.💕

I also remember the first time I had to do a presentation. It was like the most embarrassing moment. I could barely even hear myself. I can relate to what you went through. I'm glad you are slowly overcoming it as I have.
