I don't care for speaking in public, but I don't feel unconfident when I do it, since I usually prepare like hell and know my presentation inside and out. If I don't, that's when I sweat. I still get nervous each time, but when I'm prepared I know the nerves are just temporary till I jump in. At the end of the day though, I don't feel at home with all eyes on me. Never a pleasurable experience in and of itself.
