You tend to think that people are going to judge you in a negative way. People all staring at you at the same time can be very nerve ranking as well. What I do when I am about to do some pubic speaking I using practice, in front o the mirror, starting at myself right in the eyes, also to some friends or neighbors, but the best way to make myself feel less nervous is go in a store when it is very active sing out loud, any song. I review other reactions, most come up and tell me not to quit my day job. I know that if I can sing in public to strangers and survive I can survive public speaking.
