Some people get nervous when they speak in public because their brain thinks it's a big deal. Imagine you're the only kid who has to stand up and tell a joke in front of your whole class, your body might react like it's time for a test or even a race! This reaction makes you feel shaky, sweaty, or maybe even forget what you wanted to say.
Examples
- A student gets so nervous before presenting a science project that they forget their lines.
- You feel your hands shaking when you have to speak up in class.
