Hi!

I do public speaking every so often and despite how often I do, I still get very very nervous.

I guess the question is do the nerves fade away over time? Or is it normal.

Also, how well does an improvement in public speaking transfer over to normal conversation scenarios such as meeting people? (Something I'm also very nervous about)

The best thing I've found is to smile or act comically surprised and do just that. It also works when you trip or fall, just acting silly and laughing gets everyone in on it, including you!

Amazing! Thank you
