Does anyone here have a fear of public speaking?

I started to regularly attend Toastmasters meetings locally every Friday to help me improve my public speaking skills.

This morning I was chosen to speak for table topics, which you are given a topic at random and you must give an impromptu speech on that topic. I was EXTREMELY nervous because it was my first time being called up and i’m horrible at making things up on the spot. The topic was “If your job required you to move to India for a year, what steps would you take to adjust to living in a place where you haven’t lived before.” or something along those lines. Anyway, it seemed like an easy topic and in my head I had everything I wanted to say, yet everything that came out of my mouth was jumbled up and of course I started to panic. To top it off, there’s someone who rings a bell everytime you say words such as “um” or “like”, which is helpful, but it made me even more nervous.

Anyway, my question to you all is, do you have a fear of public speaking? If you do, have you taken steps to get over that fear? Have you been successful in getting over it in the past? Do you have any tips you would like to share that helped you?
