I want to become a good public speaker, I want people to listen to my ideas, I want them to think my ideas are their own just that they never could express themselves properly.

What books could help me?

Are we getting some extra /k/rossposting for some reason?

Perform some amdram bro, great way to get into reading and interpreting plays n shit.

OP: do you have any ideas of your own worth listening to, or do you just want senpai to notice you?

When it comes to confidence/etc, you either have it or you don't.

Chris Hitchen's Letters to a Young Contrarian helped me to become a lot less compromising, however.

What is amdram? I'm not a /k/ poster if that's what you're asking, I usually lurk lit and his.
>>8718839
I do have my ideas, I've been told I'm interesting to talk with I just want to improve this skill that I guess I sort of have natively.
>>8718843
Yeah that's bullshit, I'll check out the book though.
>>8718603
Will check this one out as well.

Imagine saying "I've been told I'm interesting". OP, I think you may be on the spectrum.

It;s the bullet pic, we had one or two in a thread the other day arguing over guns which is weird. I was just wondering if something was the cause.

amdram = amateur dramatics. V easy way to get talking in front of a crowd. There are other things you can try too, there's probs some kind of open mic for poetry, music or comedy. But amdram usually is easier to get into, and typically the skill level is lower. Best way to be confident is talking in front of lots of people.

Surely you can't be serious

I know there are ways to actually practice public speaking, I'm looking for books that tackle this subject.

Was being sarcastic.
