Psychologically, self-consciousness loads heavily on your neuroticism (big five)

You are self concious, because of fear. Your fear may be because of overtuned threat perception due to your personality, but also external factors.

You need to stabilise this part of yourself to stop feeling overwhelmed.

1. Make sure you keep your caffiene consumption CONSISTENT and as low as possible. None is best, but dont go not drinking any if you have 4 cups a day. 2. CONSISTENT sleep, achieved by rising at exactly the same time daily and immediately eating a full brealfast with fats and protiens and fewer carbs. 3. CONSISTENT practice at speaking in a manner that is easy for you, so on a subject you know, to a small, familiar audience (teams call with direct reports perhaps). Maintain mindfulness of just one person, or focus on speaking to one person in the crowd when you do, and stop focussing on yourself. 4. Remember you are a highly competent individiual.
