A Question on Groups

But I have to try something and I've read that anything you do that forces you to step out of your comfort zone builds confidence. Do you maybe have any other things I can try?
 
I do have another tip, you have received some good advise, now it's time to go the lab for a live experiment, so next time when you're in a larger group with people you don't feel that comfortable with, take out your labkit and do a practical experiment. (and do it consciousely)

Most of us are stangers to you too, you don't who we are, how educated we are, how much or how little we differ from you, so..

Promise, that you will come and discuss your experiment results with us ?

We will guide you on your path to large crowd confidence, we are you toastmaster buddies and we stand behind you.

Best of luck.

Like what kind of an experiment? I'm going rock climbing on Thursday with a group of people. Then I can give it a try.
 
Excellent, rock climbing is an exciting sport with many different styles.

Your experiment task: Try and find out how many styles of climbing the individuals in the group have tried and what style did they enjoy and which they did not.

- bouldering
- scrambling
- indoor/outdoor
- top roping
- simul climbing

Enjoy !

Cool thanks will try it and report back.
 
TheGuy, I'm a trainer and I'm used to speak to a group of people without any problems. I do find myself in the same situation as you when it comes to casual conversations with a large group of people. What's worked for me is to just try and focus on one or two individuals, that way I block out the rest of the group (and don't see myself as part of a big group) so in my mind I'm just having a normal conversation with one person. Helps most of the time .... but I still do get my off days when I can't ... and then I fall back onto I'm comfortable with who I am and I do not have to impress anyone around me and it's actually ok for me to be quit if I want to, it's my right.
Good luck .... I'm sure it will get better with time.

Thanks Mich will keep it in mind. I'm going to try and put myself in as much group situations as possible.
 
@wrathex
Nice post mate. Very well put.
Unfortunately I am too abrupt and come across as a bit of a bastard.

PS: I'll permit the usage of my Errr... this one time. Royalties will be accrued next time. ;) :p
