Answer 2

From my article entitled At the Podium with Ease, "Because people have various reasons why they dread speaking in public, there are many possible causes of glossophobia. It can be as simple as the fear of presenting poorly to something more complex like a single traumatic event. For instance, maybe you spoke in front of a classroom of kids as a child and they laughed at the way you were dressed. Or maybe you had a presentation not go as well as expected. These circumstances may have created an ongoing apprehension about public speaking - causing you to avoid the podium or stage at all costs. Over time this can lead to a severe case of glossophobia. On the flip side, glossophobia may also have no specific cause, as some people fear anything unpleasant - which includes speaking in front of an audience."

Answer 3

Stage fright, or performance anxiety, can be caused by a combination of factors such as fear of judgement or failure, lack of preparation, past negative experiences, low self-confidence, and physiological responses like increased heart rate and sweating. It can also be exacerbated by high pressure situations, perfectionism, or a lack of coping strategies to deal with anxiety.
