I have a problem with speaking when on the spot, I would consider myself a little more introvert than extrovert however I really do enjoy socializing with people. And I don’t have problems talking to people in general settings, I can start up a conversation with the gas station workers, I’ve worked in customer service too and don’t have a problem communicating effectively. Where I do have a problem is on the spot and public speaking. I will freeze up and sometimes not know what to say in an interview or on a call, even when I prepare myself before hand. It’s like my whole brain freezes and I don’t know what to say. I’m also camera shy but not shy around people in real life. I want to get better, I’m just not sure how or if that’s something you can completely fix.

You have to put yourself in these situations again and again. My favorite example is job interviews. The first 10 are exciting, the next 10 make you nervous, but once you've done 30, you realize how little it matters to you. You'll get used to these situations. Of course, there are exceptions, but But it looks like you are willing to work on that

I've taken a public speaking class. Made all the difference.

Also voluntarily choosing to do an acting job or performance art is great.

Physiological stress response. In a casual setting, your brain feels safe. In a high-stakes setting, your nervous system perceives a threat, triggers a fight-or-flight response, and literally pulls resources away from your prefrontal cortex....the part of the brain that handles complex speech and memory. Doing better isn’t about fixing who you are, but about retraining your brain to stay online so to say while under pressure.
