Post an embarrassing event that happened to you.

I will start.
As a junior in high school, my voice started to change. So, when answering a question in class, I would always clear my throat before talking to ensure I had a deep voice when I spoke.

Professor ..

I really think you are holding back on us ..

I am generally soft spoken person . I mean i mumble because I am not necessarily a confident public speaker . I had to do a university presentation in a an auditorium sized classroom ...and as I presented my paper and lulled the classroom to sleep . One dude in the back clamourd 'speak up , nobody can hear you '.. Not that he cared to hear . He was just being ubnoxious . I looked up from my pages , up at the room , seeing stark gazes , then , lowered my head and continued to mumble the remaining pages . With a dry mouth , and pummeled character ,..after presenting . I just left , I couldn't deal with the embarrassment of being there ..

@BobbyMoeven Oh, my. Public speaking is a common fear exceeded only by the fear of death. 😳

Seinfeld made an observation about that - (paraphrasing) he said most people would rather be in the coffin than give the eulogy.
