Who do most people have issues with public speaking?

Honestly I never have issues because I say it the way things are. I have nothing to loose but to speak about what you like. I can stand up in front of a class and speak about all sorts of stuff and still keep them entertained.

It's not so much speaking candidly or what's on your mind, some people have a fear of speaking in front of groups or classes for various reasons.

I'm an introvert- if it's just one or two people, or close friends? I have no problem running my mouth!
But if I have to present in front of a group? I'm screwed, lol. I can know the topic or discussion no problem, but if I'm too anxious to focus, it's hard to talk or say what I intended.
Or worse, I talk really fast to get it over with, but no understands me 🙄

That's because you're oriented towards the truth, whereas other people are oriented towards reputation. The thing that you occasionally have to worry about is people's reaction to the truth, as although you do manage to entertain them most of the time, occasionally the truth can be hurtful.

Some people are shy. Some people aren't usually shy, but they don't like a room full of people intently staring at them.
