Isn't that more of a public speaking organization, than a 'talk to people in social setting' organization.

yes, it's about giving speeches but those skills transfer over to other settings. social anxiety is the fear of giving speeches or just starting a conversation while around a group of five strangers. it's about practice and desensitization.

im the president of my toastmasters organization. i hated public speaking 3 years ago. now i just dislike it, much like the rest of the general population.
