Imagine you're about to talk in front of your whole class, and suddenly your heart starts beating fast like it's running a race. That’s stage fright! It happens because your brain thinks you’re in danger, like being chased by a big monster. Your body reacts with a fight-or-flight response, making you feel nervous or even scared.
Examples
- A kid feels their heart race before giving a presentation to the class.
- Someone forgets what they were going to say during an important meeting.
- An actor gets shaky hands before going on stage.
