Certain level of fear and knowledge that when a person presents in front of a
group of people, they will be judged. Understand that it is normal and that it
is impossible not to judge a person, especially if you are there to talk to them
and present a point. The important thing is to make sure you have judged
accurately by delivering your message in the right manner.

They think that their expertise on a certain matter is lacking, despite what
may be the objective reality – that they have years of experience in this field
and that they know the ins and outs. This sort of problem stems from lack of
sufficient self-confidence and it is more common than you think.
When all eyes are on you, the stress from mispronouncing a word, forgetting
a point or doing just about anything you didn’t plan for is much greater and
hence the pressure.
THEINTERNALCRITICABUSE
If you are afraid of yourself, you will be constantly criticising your actions.
You know your insecurities better than anyone else and you can make
yourself feel bad in an instant.

The thought of it occurring in front of everyone else can be pretty difficult to
deal with. This is an understandable fear, which many people have a hard
time overcoming.
It is a different story when the others are professionals, who know just as
much as you do. Whatever the case may be, they are more than qualified to
judge and criticise. This fear presents itself because of a combination of two
things: being harshly judged as well as being found out.
FORGETTINGAPOINT
A lot of people are afraid that they will simply forget important and not have
anything to say. Making a mistake, looking stupid and all these kinds of
consequences are racing in your head as you imagine how the audience will
react.
