Lots of people have a fear of public speaking. Sadly my niece, who can give an hour long dissertation on the merits of ranch dressing isn’t one of them. Imagine Bubba from Forrest Gump listing all the shrimp recipes then you’ve got a fair idea of my niece and ranch dressing. I love ranch dressing too, until a one hour long description of it in high sped. Now I wish it had never been invented.

In this case, I would tend to wish my niece hadn’t been invented; Ranch dressing could never lose its appeal.

When my niece turned two I bought her a T-shirt that said, “Help! I’ve started talking and I can’t shut up!” She hasn’t stopped yet and she is 10.

I know many people who do this. Unfortunately, I’m one of them.
It’s not fatal… but it can be difficult.

As I understand it, speaking in public, is the #1 fear of most Americans. Myself, I do not have a problem with it, I just look at one person in the back of the room as I deliver the message and imagine everyone else, sitting around him/her are naked.
Whatever works, right?
Now kids, they are the exact opposite, fearless and they are going to live forever!

Somebody hits your area of expertise, you’re primed to go with all these facts that most people don’t know. It takes the normal fear, stomps on it till it’s flat, rolls it up into a little ball, then plays hackysack with it until it gets plonked into a wastebasket.
Happens all the time.

Ranch dressing is justifiable. If it was French dressing, your niece’s sanity would be questionable.
