To determine:
The way one feels when talking in a large meeting of strangers.
Introduction:
Talking in a large meeting of strangers can be nerve wracking. It is an instance where a person has to focus on many people whom he does not know, at the same time. It can be difficult coming up with topics to talk about as there is a fear of not being accepted or your ideas being rejected. It is also difficult to know if all your ideas can mesh or if you do not work together at all. And there is also a possibility of your ideas being ignored and drowned out among a large meeting of strangers, which can be disheartening. Talking to strangers can be awkward and tense, as no one knows anything about each other or what they should talk about.
