I Get Super Nervous to Speak in Front of People

(Questioner)
Hello, Sunim,

It’s great to meet you today.

I am currently a JTS volunteer, and I am attending meetings and some classes. I am also a facilitator for the English Jungto Dharma School.

As I attend meetings and classes, I’ve realized that I have difficulty expressing myself and communicating clearly with others. Especially, my voice tends to be very soft whenever I speak. In the future, I may need to lead groups and participate in many meetings. I am super nervous about speaking in front of people. I want to overcome this weakness and would greatly appreciate your advice.

In the past, I thought my problem was caused by my father, who yelled at me and raised me very strictly when I was young. Because of this, I used to blame him. However, I now realize that this is my problem, and I need to overcome it myself.

Even now, I feel so nervous that it feels like my heart will burst. I would like to hear your advice.

I want to live my life with a lighter and more positive attitude, both in my work and in society. I want to contribute positively to others.

Thank you, Sunim.

Ven. Pomnyun Sunim guides you to the path of freedom and happiness through Buddha's teachings.
