How do you feel about: Public Speaking

[Teuthida]

I hate it. Went so far as to be an elective mute for a while. It really made others feel uncomfortable though so gave that up. For presentations I would be unintentionally sarcastic. It generated laughs but don't always want that when the subject matter doesn't call for it...especially answering questions by the professor in that manner. Would have to apologize immediately after. Still can't open my mouth in normal conversation without uttering a sarcastic remark. So yeah, no like.
