Yes, it’s true. There is research suggesting that people fear public speaking more than death.
In a 1973 study by R.H. Bruskin Associates, people ranked public speaking as their number one fear—yes, even above death. This gave rise to the now-famous quote by comedian Jerry Seinfeld:
“Most people would rather be in the casket than give the eulogy.”
Glossophobia, the technical term for the fear of public speaking, affects up to 77% of us. And it’s no wonder, speaking in front of a group can trigger immediate anxiety. Social judgment, potential embarrassment, and high stakes all collide in real time.
But here’s the good news: public speaking doesn’t have to be nerve-racking
