you might have social anxiety!. i have suffered from it for years!. you might need counseling and maybe medication as a last resort if it gets out of control!. i have been held back a lot in life because i have suffered the same thing!. i don't understand why it happens to me but it is extremely embarrassing and frustrating!. just do a little research on social anxiety!. i hope you get better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i used to have this problem but i fixed it!. Best cure, talk to ur parents, talk to every1, mostly, talk to yourself if you have to!. get out there, be open, it takes time to become confident but in your case, you have an interview and presentation coming up so you need to speed things up!. The best thing i recommend is think your the best, believe in yourself and when talking, dont think about the speech your giving, think it means nothing to you, and jus remember, after your done giving your interview, you can go home and relax, most people get nervous thinkin about the result or the people they are talkin to, once you realize how great of a person you are, you become more confident!! hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's quite normal actually!. You're just nervous speaking in public and in a group (80% of the population are)!. And being shy and quiet is your nature so that will be your tendency!. Try to relax and be yourself!.!.!. don't worry about impressing the people you're talking to which should ease the pressure of yourself!. good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just try to relax!. if you're thinking about what might happen, you'll get more nervous, and things will get worse!. just ask yourself what exactly it is you're afraid of, and then rationalize why you shouldnt be afraid of it!. its completely normal, everyone has public speaking anxiety, and college interviews can be very stressful!.

Once I was just like you!. I have learned there is nothing to fear and everything to gain by understanding that other people are essentially just like me!. Yes, all of us have feared public speaking!. I have found the best way is to just do it and trust yourself!. This is not hard, and like riding a bike, gets easier with practice!. The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed everyone else will be too!. I promise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its ok, most people get nervous while talking in front of people!.
I would start out by talking and practice presenting in front of the people you trust, like your friends and family!. Then move on from there, like presenting in front of a couple of people you dont know as well and adding more people to the bunch!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

just keep practicing over and over in front of people your are comfortable with!. then when the time comes you will probably be able to get through it!. but if you're still a little nervous when the time comes just imagine you are the only person in the room and don't focus on anyone else!. good luck :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have a similar problem but was advised to imagine the person I'm talking to doing something really private such as sitting naked clipping their toenails or sitting on the porcelain throne grunting their way through a lumpy dump, one of those with a couple of plum stones mixed in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're nervous! The trick is not to stare at the audience but to look at a prominent object, look as if you're staring at the audience but ain't!. I too have the same problem back in school when i'm doing my presentation!. Well i only lose this feeling in the army!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Practice, practice, practice!.

There really isn't anything better than practice, because the more you present and talk in front of people the more familiar it will become and the more comfortable you will be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you just need to take it easy, your stress is taking over you!.!.!.

take a nice bad, don't think about anything, just sit there :)

maybe you can sit down and read a book, it helps alot :)

hope i was any help to your problemWww@Answer-Health@Com

Practice!. It would help if a family member helped you!. Just practice the interview over and over until you feel confidence!.
Confidence over time will mean this wont happen to you !.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

nothing you can do but relax and try talking to people more so you get used to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should see a doctor about your problem!. It sounds serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

chill!
ya worry too much, that is the problem!.
if you trick your body that it is nothing to get worked up over, then you won't!. It's something that you have to work on!. the first time it might be like, the first two minutes yu get red in the face but you kinda have to talk your way out of it, you'll gradually work it down to no "red" periods!.
imagine that you are talking in an empty room
pretend you will get a million dollars if you don't do it, then even tho u won't really get any $ u will still get the priceless reward of feeling awesome!.
pretend u are one of ur fav actresses
Dress up ur nicest that day, but don't overdo it either!.
use some relaxed laguage in ur speech!.
don't drink caffeine, get plenty of rest and fluids
smoke a joint lol or pretend u didWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I"m sorry but that's exactly what I'm going to say!. The best thing about doing something like that often enough though, is that you know what to expect!. If you learn to walk through all that, it might become less of a problem!. I will say this though!. Even the most experienced speakers may still have that moment of internal panic before they face huge crowds!. You said you're in college, so probably 300-400 people in a class!. I don't blame you!. Just think of it as being a normal thing, and you might not pay so much attention to it!. Things like that might tend to go away if you're not always focused on them, or worried about embarrassment!. Also, I think it's important to know that most of your peers are probably as scared as you are!. Some of them are probably even rooting for you to do well during your speeches!. I find myself trying to push somebody further who's struggling during a speech (in my head sometimes)!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I know when I get in front of the class, everything goes blurry and my mouth goes numb!. After I am done with my presentation I usually bite the inside of my mouth until it bleeds!.!.!. But normally I get A's on the presentation!.!.!.

What I do is focus on my topic, rehearse over and over and get every fact on my topic, so I know if I am questioned I can answer so that makes me more confident that no one can try to trick me or any of that!.!.!.

Some picture the crowd in the underwear, but with my overactive imagination that just makes me hysterically laugh and makes me seem like a lunatic!.

You don't really need to worry about what others think- if that is your problem!.

But what you can do is if you have a good friend in the class then focus on that person!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have this exact same issue! Here are some things that worked for me:

1) Take a public speaking course
2) Get involved in different groups!. If you are in college, get involved!. The more people you force yourself to meet, the more confident you will become, the better you will be able to communicate with people!.
3) Practice, practice, practice! The more you force yourself to speak in class, the more comfortable you will become!.
4) Know that you are NOT alone! Many people that are in that very same class are just as nervous, or even more nervous, than you are!.

Doing all these things helped cure me of my fear of public speaking and talking to people!. Now, it is one of my very favorite things to do! Try these things, and know that you will grow out of it and improve!.

Good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like panic attacks!. A lot of people blow them off, but panic attacks are not fun!. My son has SVT - a heart condition that is often misdiagnosed as panic attacks!. Because it only happens during times of pressure, like public speaking, I would be comfortable saying it's panic!. There are medications you can take; however, these are basically anti-depressants, so you have to be careful!. I would suggest researching it further and talking to your doctor!. It's a real health problem with real cures!.

When your heart is involved, it's not a good idea to just ignore it!. Panic disorders can be serious and need serious attention to overcome them!. What you are describing sounds like a classic case!. You have a normal anxiety, but abnormal symptoms that need medical attention to over come!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have the same problem as you!. Not necessarily with the red face and heartbeat, but I do get REALLY shy around people, especially new people!. I notice as time goes on though I do get slightly better around people!. You need to just tell yourself that you are just as good as anyone else out there!. Maybe start off slow by saying "hi, how are you" to people you don't know very well!. And then things will progress from there and you'll loosen up!. It helps for me!. I'm still shy about it, I'll admit, but it's a nice way to loosen up and meet new people!.

I hope I helped and good luck =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's just nervousness!.!.!.I used to have the same problem and still do sometimes!. I found that doing or saying something funny to make the group laugh loosened me up and I felt more comfortable!. It's just something you will have to deal with and it'll get better the more you speak in front of people!. If you think about it too much, it'll make it worse!.!.!.I am a redhead with very fair skin, so when my face gets red, it's VERY obvious!!!! But I just point it out first, then laugh about it, then I feel better!. It's almost like pointing it out before someone else can and showing that you can laugh at yourself and you're comfortable with yourself!. Don't worry about it too much!.!.!.you'll be fine!!! Just stay calm and believe in yourself!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
