The term for a fear of public speaking is "glossophobia." This condition affects a significant number of people and may manifest in various ways, including anxiety, sweating, a rapid heartbeat, and difficulty speaking. Glossophobia can arise from a fear of judgment, negative evaluation, or the pressure of speaking in front of an audience. Individuals may avoid situations requiring public speaking, impacting personal and professional opportunities. Techniques such as practice, professional coaching, and relaxation exercises can help manage and overcome glossophobia, enabling individuals to communicate more confidently and effectively in public settings.
