    I can empathize with you whole-heartedly. I used to have a terrible stammer, and hated having to stand up and talk. I trained myself not to stammer by reciting passages from plays and poems (can’t stammer if you have to keep a rhythm). If it’s just the thought of having people staring at you that makes you go to pieces, try picking out one or two of your friends in the audience, and just talk to them. Ignore the people around them. This genuinely works, because after a while, the other faces tend to melt into one blurry mass, and all you see are your friends. I hope you come to grips with your challenge; it is awful to have that sicky feeling inside you that roots you to the ground. Just focus on those friendly faces.
