I am considered a shy person, I am very quiet. My worst nightmare is talking on stage in front of large crowds of people. However, there are a lot of extroverts in my classroom who would have no fear being loud with other classmates or speaking in front of other classmates however they will become very timid when they are interacting with people, they are not familiar with.
For example, one of my very extroverted talkative classmates would avoid sitting in front passenger seat of the car next to the uber driver seat. She would always pick the back passenger seat. She would force me to sit in the front passenger seat. However if the driver was her friend, she would rush to sit in the front passenger seat. I personally have no problems sitting with a complete stranger of an uber driver.
Another example, I was calling out patient names at a clinic. We were supposed to announce patient names loudly and clearly. However I notice that a lot of my extroverted loud classmates had an unusually timid voice when announcing names. Meanwhile my voice was the loudest and boldest.
Besides this, a lot of extroverts also struggle to speak in front of a large audience of strangers. However they no problem speaking in front of their groups of classmates who they are familiar with.

Interesting viewpoint. I believe the key factor lies in individuality, and we should approach people on a personal and distinctive level, considering the complex nature of temperament. Personally, as an extrovert, I encountered difficulties with public speaking during my college years, which I found intriguing. It happened in an online class, and I believe the presence of a camera made it feel more awkward. Interestingly, I came across an article recently suggesting that introverts excel as salespeople due to their ability to engage in more personable conversations. Once again, it's an intriguing perspective, but I believe the answers lie within individual temperament rather than a broad generalization.
