I cannt talk in public cuz i dont think my opinions matter. does anyone else feel like this?

I always knew there was something wrong with my confidence in me. I mostly dont think my words/thoughts dont matter. and i dont know how to overcome this.

i learnt this when i had a presentation to give in my history class.and altough i knew everything that was in the topic, i felt like nobody expects anything from me and others can do the job much better.( i didnt had a stage fright.) and also in my language class, i never take part in discussions cuz i never got good marks in the subject and dont think i can ever learn 'big words' that can impress my teachers.

Update:

I need big words for tests etc. the subjective part which includes essays, summeries etc.

    I feel so sorry that U yet don't realize that BIG WORDS don't accompany many but for writers, do you ambition to be one?

    I suggest start socializing, from the basics get some confidantes in UR class. Start discussing things with them, then increase you domain slowly so that it no,longer remains unexpected that you too can speak. But still the basics remain communication skills, confidence and boldness.

    Start trying today and within nine months you should see that people have started expecting you to speak something good on any topic. Once you have a bunch of guys who are wiling to listen to you no matter what the topic is it or if is a formal speech or presentation, then you can become the queen of public speechifying...

    It's not about big words its about your opinion and what you think and feel on the subject or topic.

    You have low confidence and maybe should look into ways to build that up. But you may put a point across and people not agree or they may agree with you completely but what you have to remember is we all get things wrong and it's learning from that.
