How to Be Comfortable When Speaking to Groups
Retrain your mind to feel completely comfortable when speaking in groups
Do you find yourself having anxiety when you are with just a few people?
Are social events or business meetings starting to become uncomfortable situations where you find it difficult to express yourself?
Most of us find it fairly easy to be able to interact with one or two people, especially if we are friends or on good terms with them. We can have a conversation, or be completely silent. We are able to say what we want, and not have to worry how we come across to them. If we happen to say something awkward, it’s usually pretty easy to come up with an explanation or an apology, without very much awkwardness.
However, when the number of people start to rise, they can feel whole different story! All of us have different thresholds where anxiety starts to kick in. You may be perfectly fine with three or four people, or even ten. But once we go over our personal threshold, the anxiety starts to build. We may find ourselves getting sweaty palms, or feeling that our heart is racing. Our throats may start to feel tight. And we may find it quite difficult to concentrate.
So Why Is It Uncomfortable Speaking in Groups?
Because all of a sudden it feels like some kind of enormous spotlight has been turned on, and at any moment it will be shining on you, and people will be all looking to see how you do under the spotlight, and then the whole thing starts to feel like it’s some sort of the performance, with an audience, critics, and ratings. So we ask ourselves who needs this! Certainly not me! So we remain silent.
It may be a family affair, a social event, or in the workplace. It’s normal in the business world to go to meetings of some type or another, and these meetings can have the same effect on you. You can feel like when there are so many people present, you’re not going to be free to be yourself therefore you will not be able to put across your views as you would in a one to one situation.
Is the Discomfort While Speaking in Groups Actually a Fixed Part of Your Character?
Having the consequences of having these inhibitions usually don’t show up immediately, but over time your colleagues at work might come to the conclusion that you are more passive than you actually are, or really not interested in your company’s goals. Or perhaps your friends may start to think that you are sort of a wallflower, so that you will in and of feeling really out of it.
You may ( and many people do ) come to the conclusion from these experiences that you really are not ‘ a group person ‘, or you may have a ‘ social anxiety disorder ‘. While all of this means is that you, just like everybody else, have a typical level of the ease and sociability with other people where you have the feeling of being naturally comfortable. If you have decided that you would like to improve on your social skills so that you will be able to feel comfortable and at ease when you are with a large group of people than feels comfortable for you currently, this is absolutely possible.
