Performance Anxiety-2

Performance anxiety, also known as stage fright, is the fear of performing a specific task in front of others that can prevent enjoyment and negatively impact self-esteem. Common symptoms include rapid heartbeat, dry mouth, trembling, and feeling uneasy. Causes may include genetics, environment, negative past experiences, and temperament. Overcoming performance anxiety involves practicing the task, controlling one's breathing, acknowledging stress but focusing on success, and connecting with audiences through smiling and acting natural.
