Yes. I used to lead a line at a factory and a security officer for a college. At first it was of course a huge step but some days i barely stuttered or even noticed i did, and speaking was second nature. Currently am over the road trucking, with minimal interaction on most days and realized an anxiety spike up and speech feeling like a big chore with plenty of speech blocks when about to speak to people, even practicing beforehand. Looking to do something similar with training or ridealong to get more often stranger interaction
