At the expense of sticking my nose in where it may not be welcome... "I'm good man, I have extreme low confidence..." - both of those things can't be true at the same time. Here is some truth for me that I had to learn. You need to stop running from it. It will suck. It will hurt. It will be an embarrassing, shitshow of an experience, but only for now. It will get easier little by little. It won't feel like it, but it will. But it won't until you start. Its like learning to play the guitar. At first you will suck and your fingers will hurt. But the more you do it, you get better and your fingers hurt less. Same thing with stuttering in front of other people. Progress will not be easy, but holy shit is it worth it. Good luck, man.
