Resolved Question I have to go court in a few days as a witness for my sister. How can I get over my problems with crowds? Basically this prick raped my sister, and I was the first person she spoke to after it happened so I have to be a witness. My whole life I've had problems with crowds of people and being put on the spot. I just don't like it. Obviously there's going to be quite a few people concentrating on me while I give my evidence. I've always been a bit shy and quiet. How can I get over this? I really need to get over it before the court date, because I really can't **** this up. If that guy gets away with this me and my dad have both said we'll actually kill him. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker Don't try to kill him. Not worth it. Ignore the crowds. Walking, just imagine them like moving pillars in your way- in fact, your eyes don't even register them as people, you just recognize the shape and move on, to your mind they aren't humans, they're objects. As for speaking, ignore everyone. Pretend you and the court are in a bubble, and you have to present your case mano y mano. Don't be buddy buddy, but don't be rude or timid- be confident and politely respectful. Tell the judge the facts, and don't bother looking at anyone else.
