Anxiety I’ve been having problems trying to express my ideas clearly, in the last years. I’m not shy so I don’t have problems giving my opinions in public, but sometimes when doing it I can’t explain my ideas as well as I wish. I’ve noticed this problem in three different situations. First, I find it difficult when I try to explain my point of view about some open question given by the professor because sometimes in the middle of my explanation suddenly I get lost and forget what I was going to say. Second, in some presentations I feel a little nervous when things don’t work out. In this case, I think it’s normal being worried when you’re not ready for a presentation. Finally, I had problems in many of the conversation exchanges that I’ve had so far. In this particular case, the reason is mainly because I sometimes talk too fast and at that speed is harder to create sentences than when you’re calm. In my opinion, the main reason why I feel anxious, at least in the classroom, it’s because I’m afraid that someone else would talk about the same matter I was going to talk so I have nothing to add to the discussion or conversation then . To solve this issue I just try to take a deep breath before saying something and try to be sure of what I’m saying so I avoid the typical phrase “are you asking me or telling me?”. I’m also looking for a good book to follow some pieces of advice related to this topic.
