I recently went to a Toastmasters event and I am sharing this story with you of how I dealt with the anxiety and my fear of speaking up and showing myself in a room of 10-15 people. It was an intimidating experience but a very powerful one because it allowed me to stretch myself and become at ease with myself and work with the triggers that came up. If you're feeling like you're the only one, this one is a reminder that the majority of people feel like this but its how you deal with it that matters.
