Public Speaking

What makes you nervous?

What makes me nervous is when I am asked to do public speeches,  particularly about my mental health issues.  In  my past role as a peer support worker in mental health, I was often asked to write speeches and to present these speeches at conferences and workshops related to mental health.

I must admit I did enjoy writing ✍️ these speeches, as I love writing so much, but I was always a bundle of nerves when I had to speak at conferences and the  like.   It was always part of my role to do such, but I never really liked that aspect of the job.  I must admit I did enjoy the art exhibitions I helped to arrange and was most comfortable when I was involved in the creative process,  either writing or creating art myself. If I could just be involved in the writing behind the scenes, I would be most happy.  I guess that’s why I love writing a blog.   I get the freedom of writing ✍️ and presenting my writing to the audience without having to actually stand up before an audience and speak.

  1. Dear [User],

    It’s understandable that public speaking about your mental health issues can evoke nervousness, especially given the personal nature of the topic. Your experience as a peer support worker in mental health, writing speeches for conferences and workshops, highlights your dedication and passion for advocacy.

    It’s clear that while you enjoy writing and expressing yourself creatively, the public speaking aspect of your role was challenging. Your preference for behind-the-scenes involvement in writing and art exhibitions resonates, and it’s wonderful that you’ve found a comfortable outlet for your creativity through blogging.
