I... hate... forced... introductions...

I tense up, freak out, and my heart pounds as I wait for my name to be called during intro calls with vendors and other projects. Idk why but public speaking in general has always been a huge fear of mine, and talking about myself raises it even higher.

I find that public introduction where you only give your name is fine. You don't have to guess which info about you is important and not weird to share and at the same time, it is the occasion to finally learn the names of people you didn't remember and are too afraid to ask.
