You can accept it, and understand that it’s only going to get better if you face up to it. Ultimately, the only cure for insecurity is experience.

"Failure is having a goal and allowing the fear to prevent the first step."
"There are two types of speakers - those who get nervous and those who are liars." - Jonathan Berent
We dread confronting the possibility of rejection. We pressure ourselves to be perfect or else our self-worth suffers.
1. Don’t expect perfection from yourself
2. Avoid equating public speaking to your self worth
3. Avoid being nervous about your nervousness
4. Avoid trying to memorize every word
5. Avoid reading word for word
