All so true. I decided to do Toastmasters... The first six months was just horrible. But I pushed myself out the door every Thursday. Four years later was enjoying and still part of the club. Served as Pres of the group, and worked with others who were as terrified as I was when I began. It's a great route to go--one I so recommend. Almost every community has at least one group. https://www.toastmasters.org/
