Actions speak louder than words. That may be true. And it
may be especially so for anyone with glossophobia.
Glossophobia is the
fear of public speaking.
This is somewhat like stage fright. Folks with glossophobia
are leery of speaking in front of other people. The term is derived from an
ancient Greek word “glossa,” which means “tongue.”
Most people have a certain level of anxiety about public
speaking – at least, until they gain some practice at it. But someone with
glossophobia probably carries significant dread at the prospect. Even the best
pep talk isn’t likely to make the fright flee. People can and do overcome glossophobia,
but it can be a challenge.
