Perhaps it is one condition that everyone defines differently. Then the question is - what is it called in psychology.
Well it is called Glossophobia.
Like many other philosophical psychological terms Glossophobia also originates from the Greek language. It combines two Greek words meaning tongue and fear or dread. the closest English phrase would be Tongue Tied ! But for the simplicity sake we can refer it as the fear of public speaking.
So now the definition being in place, let us understand its symptoms.
