1. Self-consciousness in front of large groups. This is the most common reason individuals feel about presenting themselves in front of large group of audience, everyone is comfortable talking to small groups but when it comes to a large group of people they are self-consciousness
2. Fear of appearing nervous. Individuals tend to think that when they will present themselves in front of other people they will look nervous and it will be evident that they are nervous standing in front of a particular group of people
3. Concern that others are judging you. Majority of us are concern that others are judging you, but the truth is that people don’t care about you. They are in the audience for a reason and the reason is to get something out of your lecture, speech, talk or presentation.
4. Past failures. You have failed at some point of your life in high-profile speaking situation to get where you are at the moment
5. Poor or insufficient preparation. If you are not prepared for the speech, it is obvious that you will not have enough confidence because you have not prepared yourself enough to share your speech with others
6. Narcissism. According to Gary Genard, Narcissism is the ''toughest love" message of all concerning fear of public speaking
8. Discomfort with your own body and movement. Some people are perfectly at ease physically with friends, but the minute they get up in front of an audience they are extremely in difficulty
9. Poor breathing habits. Everyone is not an expert in breathing method for speech, unless you’ve been trained as an actor or singer
10. Comparing ourselves to others. We as humans always compare ourselves to others which is very unfortunate. When presenting yourself in front of others, your task is to do your job well enough instead of comparing yourself with others
