Hehe, faced this kinda situation a few times.
I am also a calm and shy guy, I can create chaos with my familiar people but in front of an unknown crowd, I have always preferred to be silent and be a good listener. Oh Yeah, I am a great listener, love to hear from other people because it gives me an opportunity to have an idea about the opposite people and proceed thereby.
In my school days, I wasn't a bad student, good enough to rank 2nd in my class, and on the prize-giving ceremony, I was asked to face a large crowd of students along with the gurdian and teachers. We were told to give a short speech in English about our feelings, study, and institute. I can still remember the shock when my name was going to be announced after the third guy, once I was called onto the stage everything went by flow, I still don't understand how did I face everything.
I still have this instinct, I would try as much as I can to avoid an unknown crowd and stay in my familiar zone.
I am exactly this way. When I'm in front of family and friends, I become very free and talk freely but the moment I am in an unfamiliar crowd, I always prefer to observe. I remember one time a guy walked up to me and asked if I was this calm at home because he loved the way I always keep to myself, lol.
I don't even want to think about this 😂. I dread it. Public speaking is definitely not my thing but I will do it if I have to 😅.
Yes, we can, just dont know how to gather that confidence on our own until someone pushes us to face that.
