The day before yesterday,I had an interview.But I did very terrible,so terrible that I got so upset and totally lost confidence.I don't know why,but every time I have to face some strangers and be asked questions,I get very nervous.Nobody know  I am so self-abased,because in their eyes,I am a good student.But other than study,what else could I do? I just want to challenge myself,but the process is so painful.I don't know if it make any sense! Or do I just need to limit in what I am good at?
I really get confused.May for all life' pleasure ,there is an equal amount of suffer?

I think you should take part in more public activity.

fear , is not really what you imagine it ,just depend on your atitude !

another point is try to speak loudly and communicate with each other, and  lose face more times,if you can do a first time ,maybe the feeling is more and more better, is not fear at all  

just do it !

I often same with you,it's very nervous when I face strangers.

But we must overcome it. I think confidence is most important. Let's go!

agree with Kobe's opinion. you should take part in more public activities.
it's our nature to be fear. fear is a self-protection awareness, it's normal. the good method to conquer is building conference.

acctually, everyone in the beginning of speaking english will be nervous, and it is very common, and just take it easy !!!  maybe several times later, you will feel much better ,and also you will feel your oral english is imporved.
keep going, and I am trying to do that !
come on !!

I am the same with you,it's very nervous when I face strangers.
But last time i interview other people,i feel i was  nervous .haha.
Just do what you want but you may think for a while.befor you talk with a stranger,and you will find good.

yes it is common  to speak englsih in front of stranger.but if you experience it more time later,you will more better.of course before interviewing,you prepare to practise what you will speak in loudly by  youself.ti will be perfect.in addtition,confident is very important. believe youselt,i believe you will do a good job next time.

Me，too. We all will feel afraid at the begining of speaking to strangers. But if we don't speak English with others bravely and in confedence because of this, we can't progress in the spoken English.
