Im also scared to death of public speaking or talking to a crowd of people I dont know. I had to do a toast at my best friends wedding (which by the way she told me she wasnt going to have me do a toast but the wedding coordiantor made me do one and literally gave me 2 minutes notice) and I thought I was goign to die. I get all red, blotchy and itchy when I am in a situation like this. I think I am actually allergic to public speaking!
