Whenever I a trying to do something, as simple as submitting a report and wait for approval, I get so scared and anxious that I ruin it. Even though it is important and a lot is riding on it. It is not that the task is difficult, I know I can do it easily but my anxiety takes over and I just mess up. I get so stressed out with the thought of talking to people who are responsible to evaluate my work. Even if I have finished the tasks to the best of my capabilities, I am so afraid of what they might have to say that I fumble last minute. Right now I need to talk to the person responsible for evaluation but I don't understand what is pulling me back that I am procrastinating the task. It is not like they will eat me. This is not the first time I have to do it, but it is like I freeze and words just won't come out of my mouth. I tried exercises I found on different self-help pages, but I still feel my heart will burst. Is it normal to feel this way?

Maybe you should just listen to what the person has to say, you don't really need to talk just nod your head. That's what I do.
ReplyPerhaps simply tell them you have performance anxiety. You can do the job but testing and reviews cause you to stress out. They'll probably tell you they have the same thing and find a better way to do it and help you. Honestly everyone gets this just to a greater or lesser degree.. it's normal and you will learn to deal with it.
