INTRODUCTION
Public speaking is one of the skills that students must have.
Students need public skills to carry out school activities, such
as organizational activities, presentations in front of the class,
and speeches. In learning public speaking, students can
communicate in groups with two or more people by learning
to present, ask and answer, and copy-giving responses. The
ability to communicate in public is closely related to students'
confidence. Lack of confidence in communicating is, in fact, a
normal form of behavior and not a serious case as long as the
individual can reduce anxiety so that the level of anxiety does
not result in the communication act he does. Anxiety to
communicate in public is included in the criteria for social
phobia and social anxiety disorder. Physical physiological
reactions include cold fingers, racing heart, cold sweat,
dizziness, irregular breathing, or even shortness of breath,
while psychological reactions include fear, difficulty
concentrating, pessimism, and restlessness. The condition is
characterized by fear when showing the situation. Gender
equality emphasizes equal status and values for men and
women. (Amalie et al., n.d.)

interacting with their environment. Anxiety with systematic
desensitization has a correlation, where social anxiety disorder
is neurotic anxiety over the social environment characterized
by fear or anxiety about judgments and views by the
surrounding environment. Psychological problems that are
quite widely experienced in the world are social anxiety, one
of which is experienced by Indonesians. About 15.8% of the
Indonesian population experiences social anxiety. Social
anxiety is characterized by fear that arises due to
embarrassment and negative evaluation by others in social
situations, so it tends to avoid feared social situations.
