It’s Friday! Another stressful week at work, but I think we’re finally gaining traction.
Linking up with Kate Motaung and the Five Minute Friday community.
This week’s prompt is: speak
*********************
I’ve often heard that one of the most common phobias is public speaking.
I get it. There’s been a few times when I’ve actually wanted to speak, but most often I’m reticent.
I think if I had a burning passion that I wanted to communicate, it would be easier.
Actually, I have a lot of burning passions, but none that are focused and well-articulated. Plus, they tend to migrate depending on what’s happening in my life and what’s influencing me at the moment.
Overall, I prefer written communication to spoken. But, most speeches are written, so the mediums do overlap.
Fear to put your words out there transcends all forms of communications.
I’d say a percentage of that fear is healthy and keeps us from saying what we shouldn’t. Most of it, though, is just a stumbling block that prevents us from connecting with people.
