I used to be in the same boat as you although not nearly as bad. I hated public speaking and I was extremely shy.

But in my freshman year of college, I had to write a one page double spaced paper about anything every week. On Friday, we’d all read it to the class out loud. Looking back on my college experience, it was probably the single most valuable course I took just because it made me practice speaking in front of other people. As you’d expect, practice makes perfect (or improvement) and it’s now one of my greatest strengths according to those around me and it's a great skill to have!

I wrote a letter about this class and teacher if you’re interested: https://medium.com/dear-blank/dc36bb5d403a
