i had it as a kid, I'm sure of it. my job in the Navy required me speaking in front of officers, pilots, and even CO/XO of the ship when deployed; and a few times in front of the RADM of Third Fleet.

My school, required us to deliver near daily mock-briefings. I was petrified. but after doing it over and over and over again, I got used to it. After time, gaining more confidence in my job and what I was speaking about, I didn't mind it. Once the confidence is there, it really does go away. That, and just saying "**** it" and not giving a shit helps too. lol.

I used to think while I was up in front of everyone (high school, middle school etc) that everyone was judging me. But, once I said **** it, I don't care what they think, it helped quite a bit.

It's odd, because I was a gymnast for 5 years; competitive, not just recreational. there were times I would be the only one on my event performing and a majority of the meet would be watching me. but it didn't bother me. Again, it was probably a confidence thing t at that point because I knew I was fairly good etc.
