This document discusses the fear of public speaking and spotlight anxiety. It notes that most people are more afraid of public speaking than things like spiders or heights. This is due to caring about other people's opinions from a young age. However, the document argues that audiences are usually too self-absorbed to notice or care about any mistakes or flaws in a presentation. It suggests changing one's perspective to realize that audiences are focused on their own concerns rather than closely analyzing the presenter. Facing this fear with an improved awareness of audience mindsets can help presenters feel more at ease.
