Thomas Jefferson was afraid of public
speaking. He had terrible stage fright,
added accent marks to his copy of the
Declaration of Independence in case he

faked illness to avoid giving speeches.

that about 20 pages into his own
autobiography, he complains that he’s
already tired of talking about himself. Source Source 2 Source 3
