So as soon as you learn to talk, you can handle every social situation adequately? That's news to me.

You may not understand this particular issue, because you never had trouble introducing yourself publicly. But you probably struggled at something else, and don't you think training would have (or did) help you there? So obviously it would also help people, who do exist, that struggle with public introductions of themselves.

    No, they didn't say that, they said that knowing how to talk is the only prerequisite. The rest comes only with practice, the sooner the better. Anxiety's a bitch, I get it, but you make it manageable by desensitizing yourself to those situations (preferably starting with the low risk ones like introductions), not avoiding them.

    Edit: I mean the context is school, it literally is the training
